The STA Octopus Programme is an innovative series of three progressive awards designed to introduce school-aged children to a positive and engaging water experience and independent swimming without an adult's support. The programme focuses on developing water confidence, safety awareness, and fundamental aquatic skills through fun, structured play.

All sessions take place in shallow water, progressing to the deep end of the pool. While buoyancy aids may be used, they are not essential if the child demonstrates swimming skill abilities. Correct support positions are encouraged, with an emphasis on body position, head position, leg action, arm action, breathing and timing. A qualified and experienced teacher will maintain eye contact, physical reassurance, and positive verbal encouragement throughout the lesson.

Classes are child-led, flexible, and responsive, allowing each child to progress at their own pace. Children are guided and supported using buoyancy aids and maintain their position within a small group, while maintaining close contact with the teacher in the water.
