Some things to expect
Small group instruction

ASA (now Swim England) swimming insurance is required for members, teachers, and clubs to provide crucial legal protection for potential injuries or property damage during activities, covering liabilities like public and professional indemnity, ensuring compliance, protecting personal assets, and meeting governing body best practices (like having lifeguards).
