ABOUT

We love swimming

Aberdeen LTS is linked to Aberdeen Amateur Swimming Club, providing a pathway through from non-swimmers to international level swimmers. Swimmers can join when they are 4 years old and there are swimmers in Masters who are old enough to be grandparents! Swimming is fun and swimming is for all! Swimmers move through the 6 levels of the LTS scheme seamlessly, as they achieve the skills required at each level.

Our swimmers benefit from:

• Small classes
• Fully qualified, committed teachers
• Access to progress through an app
• Easy payment process through an app
• Open communication with the Head Teacher
• Inclusive environment where support is given to swimmers with disabilities and special needs.

What parents say...

“Both of our children have made tremendous progress with their swimming which is good news considering we're moving to the Netherlands where there is plenty of open water!”

“I also just wanted to say how impressed we've been with the swimming lessons he's received with you guys. I feel he's come on in leaps and bounds so many thanks to everyone involved.”

“Thank you very much for everything you've taught them, they absolutely love it and have learned so much... it's been very worth the money.”

“I can't thank the LTS teachers enough for all the support and encouragement you have given my son over the years - he is a confident swimmer thanks to everyone's hard work.”

“My Daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time with the club and due to the club's efforts, encouragement, guidance and teaching skills, is an absolutely fantastic swimmer! ”

“We would like to thank all the team at LTS for their help in teaching my son to swim over the last 5 years, especially given the challenges of Covid too. All of my son’s instructors have been so supportive and he has learned to swim with technique and confidence. Also acknowledging the sheer number of swimmers that you deal with, the organisation and administration side of things has been excellent. ”

“I'd just like to thank Aberdeen LTS for the opportunity to attend your classes, we've just returned from holiday and it was the first time I had seen my son in the water for almost 2 years and I couldn't believe the confident little swimmer he has become, it was a delight to see, he absolutely loves the water.”

“Thanks very much to everyone at the club, my son has gone from never being in the water to being able to swim confidently which is exactly what we hoped for when he enrolled.”

“ALTS has been a fantastic set up for my 3 children who are all strong confident swimmers. We’ve been coming for nearly 10 years. Many thanks to you all and your team. It’s been a very professional set up delivered by a skilled, well run team.”

What happens After Aqua Stars 4 & Aqua Stars 5

If being promoted from AS4:

At the end of Aqua Stars 4 you will recieve an email about your options which will include;

-> Move to competitive Swimming (A squad)
If you would like to find out more about the Club, have a look on the website (http://www.aberdeenasc.org.uk ) or speak to one of the teachers

All sessions in A Squad are at the International School and training is just a small step up from Aqua Stars 4 and the emphasise is still on technique and building up swimming fitness.

The exciting part about joining the club is that swimmers can go to competitions. Most of the competitions are either at the International School or at pools in and around Aberdeen. The coaches realise that some swimmers are nervous about racing and they prepare swimmers carefully and will not enter them for races they are not ready for.

-> Move to Aqua Stars 5

If you are under 8 years old when you finish Aqua Stars 4, we will advise you to move to Aqua Stars 5 until you are nearly 8, because swimmers are not allowed to compete in most competitions when they are under 8 years old.

When you receive the email, please choose which option you would like and reply to the email. If we do not hear from you, the swimmer will be moved to Aqua Stars 5.

Note; If your child is in an AS4/5 class, you will receive 2 emails, but you only have to options above, so ignore the other email.
