THE WHOLE COMMUNITY BENEFITS S
andon Primary Academy’s new school pool was opened officially in 2018 by Olympic Gold Medallist Adam Peaty.
Sandon is the only primary academy in Stoke-on-Trent
with its own state-of-the-art swimming pool. The money to fund the pool was raised entirely by the school. The school now gives its 500 pupils, aged from two to
eleven, free weekly swimming classes and life-saving lessons and has set the target of helping every pupil to become a competent and confident swimmer by the time they finish primary education. In addition to Sandon’s own pupils, free swimming classes
are also offered to the wider local community including other local schools and, out of school hours, private swimming lessons are also available. At the heart of every successful pool is a highly effective
environmental control unit. Pool builders’ Portrait Pools have worked with Heatstar for around 20 years and consider

CHILDREN’S MERMAID AND SHARK LESSONS T
he Institute of Swimming has partnered with Fin2Fit to deliver its Mono-Fin CPD teacher
training. Qualified teachers will be able to deliver Mono-Fin Mermaid and Shark lessons and parties, as a new and exciting approach to keep children interested in swimming. Emma Longden, Fin2Fit Owner, says:
CHILDREN LOVE BECOMING mermaids and sharks and learning new skills.
“Children love becoming mermaids and sharks and learning new skills. The classes are lots of fun, but it was important for us that the Fin2Fit
lesson content was accredited by Swim England, as this is the stamp of approval parents’ trust. “Fin2Fit classes are not a gimmick;
children are nurtured, trained and assessed. The class always contains a vital life-saving skill element too.” The Institute of Swimming is the
largest provider of Swim England qualifications and aquatics courses, training over 60% of all swimming teachers in the UK.
