The Junior Development (JD) classes follow on from our Learn to Swim programme and these classes introduce swimmers to a mini squad environment.
Junior Development lessons are designed to teach swimmers all four swimming strokes and improve their technique to a level appropriate for squad training. Taught by experienced coaches, our programme is designed to take each swimmer to the next level.
Junior Development classes are available between 3.30pm and 5.00pm on weekdays. There are also weekday morning classes on some days, as well as Saturday mornings classes all year round.
The Somerset Swimming Academy requires that all swimmers join the Academy before they can begin lessons. There is no cost to join the Academy. Forms can be obtained from Pool Reception or click here. A free assessment is also required for swimmers new to the Academy.
