GROUPS EXPLAINED
Beginner groups swim on Mondays at 6pm. In this session, children learn safe water entry and exit, floating, and how to move through the water using basic arm and leg actions. Emphasis is placed on improving independence and body position while in the water. Next, a focus is placed on refining these foundational skills by introducing proper aquatic breathing, effective kicking techniques, and swimming a minimum of 10 meters unaided in different strokes
Groups D and C both swim on Mondays and Thursdays at 6:30pm, focusing on stroke technique improvement and stamina building. In Group D, swimmers refine their front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke techniques while being timed over 50 meters. Timings are recorded monthly, allowing swimmers to track their progress. Once they reach the required qualifying times and stamina, they can move to Group C.
In Group C, swimmers continue to develop their strokes while focusing more on endurance. Progression between the groups is based on each swimmer’s ability to handle more intensive training, as assessed by coaches. Both Group D and C can compete in our entry-level galas.
Groups B and A both swim at 7:30pm on Mondays and Thursdays, focusing on more advanced training for stamina and speed.
In Group B, the emphasis shifts from learning to swim to more structured performance training. Swimmers continue to receive stroke correction while building stamina and speed. This group also focuses on developing racing starts, turns, and transitions for all strokes, with swimmers practicing longer distances to enhance technique. Once they achieve the required times and show readiness, they can move to Group A.
In Group A, training becomes more intensive, with a primary focus on stamina and speed for competition or general fitness. Swimmers work on refining advanced stroke techniques, swimming longer distances, and practicing skills such as relay takeovers and individual medleys. This group is ideal for those preparing for competitions or those looking to improve endurance and overall swimming performance.

DATES
Bexhill Swimming Club has aligned its schedule with the term dates for schools in East Sussex, meaning that the club's activities, such as training sessions and competitions, will take place during school term time. Each year, we will send out specific term dates; however, you can also check the East Sussex County Council’s official education website.
