Swimming Nature, the London-based provider of children's swimming tuition is expanding throughout the UK.

Established for ten years, the company has more than 3,500 pupils in the London area and offers a modular interactive teaching method for children aged from 3 to 14.

The system is available to leisure operators, pool owners and swimming teachers and provides licensees with a training package, which covers both teacher training in the Swimming Nature method and business operations support, including bookings software, and payments control.

Children are taught in small groups by teachers in the water. Teachers monitor weekly progress and the information is fed into palm top computers, which is then sent to the internet where parents can view their child's progress. All statistics from licensees also form part of a five year research project being conducted by the University of Edinburgh. Details: +44 (0)870 900 8002 or www.swimmingnature.co uk
