A small school in a warm pool
Lanes Swim School (sample) has taught children and adults in Springfield since 2006. One pool, twelve teachers, small classes.
Why we teach in small groups
We started with four children and one teacher in a hotel pool. The idea has not changed: swimmers learn faster when the water is warm, the group is small and the teacher can reach every child.
Today the school runs more than 60 classes a week (sample) in its own 20-metre pool with a shallow teaching area.
