About My Class

Home Education

Carol Saunders Swim School family cater for the home education community providing group and private swimming lessons during the daytime.

We understand that home educators have an individualistic philosophy regarding their children’s learning environment from child-led unschooling approaches to structured curriculums.  

Swimming is a fundamental life skill and everyone should have suitable access to swimming lessons as part of their educational learning experience.  We are fortunate to be able to offer this service to home educators from a private pool during usual mainstream hours.  We are able to offer both groups and private lessons.

As a home educating family ourselves, we believe in a relaxed approach to the learning environment and endeavour to create fun learning experiences for all ages and abilities. As the children become more familiar with the environment a more formal approach can be delivered as swimming skills are demonstrated that can be practised, repeated and developed throughout the swimming journey.

We currently offer two days; Monday and Thursday mornings from 0930 for home educating families to join us. We meet your groups specific needs and provide the structured, unstructured or mixed environment you request upon booking.

Feedback from our current Thursday group (ages 1-15 / abilities completed beginner to advanced):

  • "After years of failed attempts of learning to swim. My little boy is finally swimming!! The teacher and coaches are excellent. Patient and kind and took the time to listen and notice what my sons concerns where. In less the half an hour he was off on his own in the pool !! He is brimming with confidence and can’t wait to go again. 5star recommendation !!"
  • "This is a brilliant session! The kids have a lot of fun and the one on one attention has really improved their swimming techniques and confidence. Great value for money."
  • "Can highly recommend. My kids love it. Lovely clean, private pool and great teacher"
  • "Brilliant sessions. Clean pool, great value."
  • "My 3 love having their weekly group swim. They have loads of fun swimming and playing games with their friends, learn lots of new water skills and us mums get to catch up and swim too! It's the highlight of our week! Thank you Kirsten for the great sessions!"

We hope you join us for the home education programme!  If you are interested in finding out more information or would like a place reserving please fill in our contact form and we will be happy to answer any questions.
