SWIMMING
LA Fitness’ objective in working with CSL was to utilise its existing
pools in a more effective way and to broaden the
appeal of swimming and other pool activities to people of all ages
WHERE ARE THE CSL CLASSES? Currently operating 655 learn to swim classes every week in 51 LA Fitness health club sites in the UK and Ireland, CSL offers a range of lesson types, including one to one tuition for all abili- ties, parent and baby lessons, pre-school lessons and adult group lessons. Like most learn to swim organisations,
Community Swimming Limited delivers three groups of 10-week lessons each year with special courses at holiday time. LA Fitness’s objective in working with
CSL was to utilise its pools in a more ef- fective way and to broaden the appeal of swimming and other pool activities to the communities it works with. CSL’s Learn to Swim programme is
delivered by fully qualified ASA teach- ers who use games, fun techniques and a number of other activities to take children through their aquatic journey; from beginner level to fully competent, confident and safe swimmer. Lessons available include: • Adult and Child Adult and Child Lessons are a perfect way to introduce babies and toddlers to water and the pool environment. • Pre School Swimming Suitable for children from 3 years old. • Children Swimming Lessons Stages 1-6 This progressive programme teaches children a wide range of skills which re- sults in them becoming confident and competent swimmer. • Swim Technique and Stamina Lesson Distance, medley swims, swimming drills and swimming exercises are
delivered within this session. A swim- mer who finishes the ASA Learn to Swim Framework will have a life skill that will enable them to take part in any water- based activity they wish; from swimming for fitness to swimming with dolphins, from canoeing to white water rafting.
ADULT LESSONS CSL’s ASA level 2 qualified teachers sup- port and guide adults in the following range of classes: • Aqua-phobic dry land introduction • Beginners and improver lessons • Private one to one lessons • Swimming stroke and technique lessons

Make A Splash: CSL worked with Make a Splash in 2011-12 to provide a programme delivered by Total Swimming as part of the Mayor of London’s Olympic Legacy. The project provided a mobile
12m x 6m steel tank above-ground swimming pools to some of London’s most deprived and disadvantaged areas. The project provided school swimming and lessons for people who were not able to access and afford local public swimming facilities.
