Alpha Step

The Alpha Step Awards are designed to build confidence in those who may need more support during their swimming lessons.

They are particularly good for a shy or timid child, a nervous adult and some people with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).

The Alpha Step Awards reward the development of the early stages of buoyancy, coordination, spatial awareness, breathing, and entering and leaving the pool safely.

To book onto our Alpha Step course, email swimlesson@medway.gov.uk.

Homeschooler Swim Lessons

These lessons run during the day at Strood Sports Centre.

They follow the guidelines of our school swimming lesson programmes.
