  • What are the costs?
    The cost for the hire of our pool, lockable marquee and swimming teachers for 2 weeks comes in at a rate of £5200..
  • Are there any additional costs?
    There will be additional costs of water and electricity. Other companies have calculated that on average the water and electricity costs for 2 weeks is £400. The only other additional cost is to install an outdoor 3 phase electrical point if you do not already have one. This is obviously a one-off and would be incurred for the first time you have the pool only.
  • What are you health and safety protocols?
    During the school day, a member of our team will be at the pool at all times, even when the pool is not in use. When the school is closed, the marquee will be locked and the ladder to gain access to the pool is removed. We will be using 'We Do Events' who will be providing the lockable marquee and using their insurance for this too.
  • Do we need a risk assessment or our own insurance?
    No, you do not need to worry. Khickster Entertainment LTD will provide and have any risk assessments you will need. Everything is covered under Khickster Entertainment LTD insurance policies.
  • What are the teaching ratios?
    We recommend a maximum ratio of 1:10, however these can be flexible. For example for non-swimmers we like to work with 1:5 as this will allow the most progress to be made. For more confident swimmers, this can be up to 1:12.
  • What are the changing protocols?
    This is dependent on each school. Most schools can find a secure area for children to get changed in. If there is no suitable space inside the school, our Marquee company can provide an extra space at an additional cost of £150, which would include a divider to allow one group to change in at a time. If changing space is limited, we can look at single sex lessons to make this more accessible.
  • What is a typical timetable?
    This is dependent on each school. We create a timetable that is personalised to your schools’ goals and needs and this can be discussed in your pre-set up meeting. We recommend 30 minutes intense lessons. It is your choice whether you would prefer to target specific year groups or provide lessons for more year groups throughout the school. Example Timetable: 1 Form Entry School: Each year group to be split in 2 with roughly 15 children in each group (depending on class size). This timetable is covering 3-year groups, with one class per year. Each slot will allow for 2 groups, meaning ratios are 1 teacher to roughly 7/8 children, allowing for much more personalised learning. 9:05 – 9:35: 1st 1/2 of year 4 9:40 – 10:10: 2nd 1/2 of year 4 10:45 – 11:15: 1st 1/2 of year 5 11:20 -11:50: 2nd ½ of year 5 12:30 – 1:00: 1:1 / SEN Group if wanted during pupils’ lunch group 1:15 – 1:45: 1st 1/2 of year 6 1: 50 – 2:20: 2nd ½ of year 6 BONUS LESSON 2:25 – 2:55 – Monday, Thursday and Friday: Confidence Booster/ Additional Support for students who we identify and think could benefit for some extra pool time.
