TUTORS: Climbing Tutors, Swimming Tutors

A combined course for children to explore their love of swimming, diving and climbing, bouldering and slacklining

Each day, children will be able to enjoy and improve their love of swimming and climbing. Initially climbing for the first part of the session and after a mid afternoon break, enjoying the pool.

Climbing

Come and try out climbing at our state-of-the-art facility! Boulder across our fun low-level wall, race your friends up our 10.5m high main wall and wobble your way across our slacklines. We aim to develop your confidence in a fun and supportive environment. We offer challenge by choice, with lots of options to suit all ages and experience. Come and develop your strength, agility, balance and have fun all at the same time. Check out our climbing wall at The Perse Sport Centre.

Swimming

This Summer, dive into our state-of-the-art 25-metre swimming pool. Combine swimming skill development with fun, structured games like underwater treasure hunts and relay races. Held in a safe and supportive environment, children will improve their swimming techniques, build water confidence, and develop teamwork all while having a fantastic time in the pool. This session offers something for everyone and all abilities. See our swimming pool here.

Please let us know if your child is not water confident as this will allow us to adjust our provision accordingly - please either email summerschool@perse.co.uk or insert a comment in your child's personal details form under 'other information'.

Course Notes

The Perse Sports Centre - Equipment and Facilities

Please drop your child and collect your child at The Perse School car park on Hills Road so your child can be registered by a member of staff, in and out.

Lockers are available for children to use. If they would like to bring their own small/medium combination lock to secure items, they may do so.  It is possible to use a locker for the session without using a combination lock.

Climbing

Please arrive at the sports centre ready for your climbing or bouldering lesson. There are appropriate areas within the centre where you can change your shoes. 

We recommend you wear comfortable light breathable/flexible fabrics, so that you are able to move freely when on the wall. For example, shorts or leggings, loose fit T-shirt (sports bras are recommended for girls where age appropriate). Please wear indoor trainers. Check out our climbing wall at The Perse Sport Centre.

Swimming 

Our changing facilities include 18 changing cubicles and two group change areas, as well as six shower cubicles.  All children should wear appropriate fitting costumes/trunks and shorts specifically designed for swimming. Baggy costumes and trunks can hamper movement. Swim hats and goggles are encouraged. See our swimming pool here.
