Haven has more than 400 lifeguards and one in four of them have been trained by the Swimming Teachers' Association to teach the Learn2Swim programme.
Marcus van der Gaag, Haven’s Sports and Leisure Director, said: “We are very proud of our association with the STA and are delighted so many children and holidaymakers take part in our Learn2Swim programme.
“Many of our guests say that being on holiday is an ideal time to have swimming lessons especially if they are on the holiday park for a week or more. Next year our Learn2Swim sessions will take place every day!
“Our lifeguards are all trained to the highest standard and there are five levels of achievement to aim for with certificates presented at each stage. They range from initial water confidence to swimming 50 metres.
The Learn2Swim sessions are in addition to the wide range of fun water activities on Haven’s parks such as messing around in mini paddle-boats or surging along underwater with powered submersibles.
Haven are offering excellent value for money deals if you book early for 2010.
