The National Plan for Teaching Swimming (NPTS)
The ASA NPTS is a nationally recognised template for learn-to-swim lesson providers to follow and therefore, ensure that the structure and quality of their swimming lessons creates good competent swimmers. The plan, recognised by Ofsted emphasises within the NPTS on the quality of the swimming strokes and not simply on the distance that can be swum. Through repetition, revision and consolidation, pupils are encouraged to develop a multi skilled approach to swimming. As not all swimmers want to become competitive swimmers. The NPTS gives pupils the opportunity to develop skills from all swimming disciplines - swimming, diving, synchro, water polo and lifesaving, so keeping their interest within the sport. The NPTS provides a clear consistency in approach, structure, teaching methods and quality nationally across all participating learn to swim schemes. |
