Rusalka Swim School is now “Full” for this current summer term.

After such long periods during the past year when we were unable to open our Swim School, we are naturally delighted to now be back up and running again, providing high quality swimming tuition to local children and babies. However, the sad news for any new applications is that we are now completely full and have no remaining spaces available at all in any of our classes for the various Swim England stages.

This despite us opening many new classes, on different days, to try and meet the extremely heavy demand for places with us during this current Summer term. We will, however, be running several ( see the link )  5 day Intensive swimming courses throughout the school summer holiday period and we are happy to receive all requests to be placed on the notification list for these, for once dates have been confirmed and also to be placed on our waiting list for our Autumn term commencing 6th September through to 19th December.

In conjunction with Southern Water's 'Learn to Swim’ program, we are so pleased to award each nominee with a super prize of their choice – either a pair of swim goggles, a drinking water bottle or a Southern Water string bag suitable for sports kit. Please let your teacher know which you would like.

As in anything like this, there’s always only a certain number of children nominated each time and we always feel it so important to stress that these small internal awards are given to children whose swimming teachers feel are deserving of special recognition for their work effort, enthusiasm and achievement over the past six weeks.

Our Swim Teachers always tell us that this is one of the hardest things we ask them to do because the general standard of all the children here at Rusalka is always so exceptionally high. To try and include as many children as possible we always make these awards for each half term period, instead of just for each term.

And so, to all of our other equally special children, who may not be on today's list, please don't worry and please be assured that this certainly does not mean that you are not working hard. If you keep doing your best during every lesson then, next term, it really could be your name appearing here.

🧜‍♀️🏊‍♀️Happy Swimming Everyone !🏊‍♂️🧜‍
