Splash & Paddle Swim School does not own or manage any facilities or premises, but is wholly committed to providing a safe and healthy environment at its sites for the benefit of its staff, customers and contractors by achieving high standards of health & safety in its operations.

All teachers of the Splash & Paddle Swim School will be ASA Level 1 or 2 qualified, will have their own IOS Membership and have also passed the NRASTC (National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and Coaches). In addition all lessons will be taught with a NPLQ (National Pool Lifeguard Qualification).

At Splash and Paddle Swim School we place great significance on 4 specific principles. These principles run through each & every lesson, each & every teacher and each & every parent & child.

They are:

	Safety: integral to every lesson. With this principle at the core of all that we do then the following three values can flourish.
	Confidence: an important part of the teacher/pupil relationship is instilling confidence into the swimmer. Confidence breeds success!!!
	Understanding: we put quite a lot of emphasis on the importance for the swimmer to understand why & what they are doing, i.e. explanations of certain movements or the idea behind the strokes. If you understand the concepts of swimming you will become a better more proficient swimmer.
	Enjoyment: used to engage the pupil within a lesson and helps encourage & motivate the swimmer when in an unfamiliar environment.
