Poynton Dippers is a small, friendly swimming club for all the family.  Sessions are available for everyone ranging from Children, Juniors, Teenagers, Adults all the way through to Seniors with lessons designed to meet specific needs of all ages and abilities.   All sessions are run by a fully qualified swimming coach assisted by one or more pool side helpers.  The pool side staff are volunteers and they are all CRB checked.
Children
Children are welcome to join from the age of seven once they are able to swim a length of the pool on their front and on their back (this ability is loosely equivalent to Level 7 or Level 8 of the ASA awards in swimming lessons).
Juniors
Junior children usually start out by attending the Saturday morning sessions. This session is designed to concentrate on stroke development. As ability improves, children progress to the evening sessions held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. These evening sessions continue with stroke development but also concentrate on building strength and stamina as well as specific skills needed for competition swimming - for example tumble turns and racing dives. Once children move up to these week day sessions they can attend on as many nights as they wish to.
Teenage and Adult
Teenage and Adult swimmers are catered for at Poynton Dippers within separate sessions to those of the Junior swimmers. These sessions provide opportunities to improve stamina and overall fitness within a group of likeminded people in a relaxed environment!
