🏊‍♀️ Backstroke Week! 🏊‍♂️

This week we’re focusing on developing strong backstroke technique.

✅ Practise long, straight legs with small, steady kicks.
✅ Stretch those arms nice and long.
✅ Remember to enter the water little finger first, slicing smoothly through the water.

A great way to practise at home is to sit on a chair and work on straight-leg kicks while reaching your arms overhead.

Keep those bodies long and streamlined –we can’t wait to see your progress in the pool this week.

💦 Every swimming lesson starts with a first splash.

One of our little swimmers joined us for their very first lesson this week and judging by the smiles and giggles, it was a big success! 😊

We love helping parents and children create happy memories, build confidence and enjoy precious time together in the water. 💙🏊‍♀️

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome so many new swimmers to DCY Swim School! 🏊‍♂️💙 We can't wait to watch how you will...

👀 Parents, watch this with your little swimmer(s) and share the reel with your friends so they can watch and learn with their children...

This week's Tip of the Week from Instructor Josh focuses on one of the most important swimming skills: breathing! 🫧💦

Learning to put your face in the water can feel like a big step, so Josh shows an easy progression you can practice together:

✅ Blow bubbles while counting to 5
✅ Put your nose in the water
✅ Add your mouth and nose
✅ Then try your whole face!

Taking it step by step helps build confidence, comfort, and strong swimming habits. 🏊‍♂️

Give it a try during bath time (with a parent closely supervising, of course!) or at your next swim session, and let us know how your little swimmer does! 👇💙

What you're seeing here is more than a swimming lesson.

You're seeing children learning to trust the water.

You're seeing confidence grow week by week.

You're seeing important life skills being developed that will stay with them long after they leave the pool.

At DCY Swim School, we're passionate about creating a positive environment where children can learn, grow and feel confident in the water at their own pace.

Every lesson is a step towards becoming stronger, safer and more confident around water.

Oh my goodness! 🎉

We had to rebuild our page from scratch, and we’re now at 2.2k followers! Thank you all so much for your incredible support. ❤️

We’d love to reach 3,000 followers next! If you could help us by tapping the three dots in the top right corner of our page and selecting “Invite Friends”, we’d be so grateful.

As a small business, we’ve faced plenty of bumps in the road. There have been lots of smiles, hard work, challenges, and even a few tears along the way. Every like, share, recommendation, booking, and kind word has helped us get to where we are today.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to the next milestone

Lots of love,
Bryony & Josh xx

Over the half term our swimmer JJ sent us this cool clip show us his tricks in the water! 3 forward rolls and 2 backward rolls in a row is very impressive! Holding your breathe alone to do this is skilful! Well done JJ and thank you so much for sharing!

If ever any of our swimmers are doing swimming out of lessons and you'd like to share any experiences with us, we'd love to see it! It's great seeing our swimmers put their learning into action.

Keep up the awesome swimming JJ! 🏊👏

Every child progresses differently and at DCY Swim School, we believe that's something worth celebrating. 💙

That's why we put so much thought into every stage of our badge criteria, ensuring children build confidence, develop key skills and achieve milestones they can be truly proud of.

From those first splashes in the water to swimming independently, every lesson is designed to support, challenge and encourage our swimmers at the right pace for them.

Seeing the smiles, confidence and progress week after week is exactly why we do what we do.

Here's a little glimpse of learning in action. 🏊‍♂️✨

Hi all,

Just a quick update. Bryony’s immune system is currently quite weak, which means she’s been picking up every cold, flu, and bug that’s going around at the moment. Josh has also come down with what seems to be a flu-like illness after a very busy week of crash courses, teaching weekends, and private lessons, so he’s feeling quite run down too.

As a result, Kyra will be covering Josh’s lessons this evening and she will be taking the day off on Friday, which Bryony will be covering Friday evening lessons and all Saturday lessons.

We always do our best to keep lessons as consistent as possible, but unfortunately sometimes circumstances are beyond our control. Thank you all for your understanding and continued support.
