Total disgrace, these lessons have really benefited my son, the council needs to realise the mistake they have made and the impact it will have by implementing these changes.

Where are these children going to get swimming lessons now as it obviously suited parents to bring them privately!! Still time to rethink SuperCouncil!!

The main people bring disadvantaged here is the children. Especially the children with special needs that would not be able to cope with the larger groups the council run!!! My child has glue ear and finds it difficult to hear in the pool with the acoustics, he would have struggled immensely in a large group, hence why I sent him to Ripples. What about the young people with autism, ADHD etc who require 1:1, that the leisure centre can not provide!!! Disgrace that these children have to suffer.

No more languages at school for our kids now no private swimming lessons - our children are becoming second class citizens of Europe - Enough is Enough you moronic bureaucrats!

The proposed changes are detrimental to young swimmers & their families and ultimately the new 'super council'

The decision to impose these retrictions on private tuition are potentially dicriminatory as some children with additional needs can only cope with 1to1 sessions. Are their needs going to be ignored?? A disgraceful move by the council.
