PARENT & TODDLER - 45 MINUTE SESSION

This is where our youngest members have their first experience of gymnastics. The class is designed for children that have just started walking up to approximately 2 years and 3 months old.  Both adults and children alike enjoy this session, and the introduction of soft play equipment makes for an ideal safe environment in which these young, budding gymnasts can investigate their physical potential.

PARENT & CHILD - 1 HOUR SESSION

The Parent and Child class caters for children between approximately 2 years and 3 months up to 3 years and 3 months old. These sessions teach basic co-ordination, improve confidence and help general development in a specialised, safe environment.  Fun for both the children and parent/carer.  Parental involvement in their child's development and progress is actively encouraged.

PRE-SCHOOL - 1 HOUR SESSION

Pre School sessions are a range of progressive gym classes for children of all abilities from approximately 3 years and 3 months old to attending full time school. These are the first classes where the children will be taking part in a structured gymnastic session without being accompanied by their parent/carer. Swallows Coaches lead the children throughout these classes and help them to learn new skills through use of a wider range of equipment.  Sessions help to develop the children's independence as well as key co-ordination skills, such as climbing, jumping, balancing, rolling and gross motor skills.  At this age the children are growing in confidence daily.

SCHOOLS PROGRAMME

This program is designed to deliver the National Curriculum to children of Primary school age.  With our coaches we deliver a 6 week National Key Steps Programme to the schools. 

Many rural schools choose to come to the gym where we offer a 6 week programme during which time the students are able to benefit from the use of specialised equipment under the guidance of our qualified coaches.

RECREATIONAL - HOUR SESSION

Swallows offer various Recreational classes for both boys and girls. These classes are for school age children with a wide range of abilities and combines fitness with fun. The basic skills are taught by Swallows coaches and are rewarded with British Gymnastics Proficiency Awards, which aim to improve and refine basic co-ordination skills and key gymnastic elements. Recreational gymnastic sessions provide a good grounding for other sporting activities and are run after school and on Saturday mornings.  The Club run an annual Recreational Competition where gymnasts are invited to compete in their first competition. 

ADULT GYMNASTICS

This class caters for everyone aged over 16, who want to experience the sport of Gymnastics.  Many participants never had the opportunity while at school to challenge their gymnastic potential in such a well equiped and safe environment with expert coaches at hand.  This class includes a warm up session and can be informal or structured depending on the individual's ability.  All members are encouraged to develop at their own pace and within their levels of fitness and flexibility.

COMPETITION SQUADS

Competition gymnastics can be sub-divided into three levels:-  Entry into these groups are by invitation only.

INTERMEDIATE GYMNASTICS

These gymnasts have progressed through Novice level and have sufficiently improved their gymnastic skills to now compete at Intermediate level. The increase in skill levels brings with it an increase in training hours and they can be expected to attend the gym for between 4 and 6 hours per week.

COUNTY/REGIONAL GYMNASTICS

Gymnasts who reach this level are dedicated to their sport and have the talent and ability to compete with the best from other Counties/Regions. Gymnasts at this level are expected to commit up to 25 hours per week to their training.
