Learn To Swim Lessons for Kindy Kids & Preppies: 3 to 4 years old
|
Not yet big kids, but no longer toddlers, our kindy kids and preppies can be a delight to teach. Their wonderful imagination and great sense of humour provide teachers with plenty of opportunity to make water confidence and learning to swim a most enjoyable experience.
Our aim is to develop good strong foundation skills, but in such a way that your child will love the water and their learn to swim experience. Skills taught in our 3 to 6 year old program range from beginner water confidence and safety skills to the more formal strokes such as freestyle and backstroke. Children are graded by both their physical and emotional maturity as well as by their skill level. Classes are thirty minutes long and have between three and four children per teacher. |

Which is the right class for my child?
The following list will guide you through our class levels. Little Nipper 4: I'm now 3 to 4 years old, I can take direction from the teacher and understand when I need to wait, stop and go, I can take turns and am happy to share. It's time for mummy and daddy to sit back and watch while I learn to swim with my teacher. I will practice my safety skills of jumping in, treading water, rolling on my back and kicking back to the side over and over. Beginner: I'm between 3 and 5 years old. I may be a timid child or have had a fright in water or simply had little experience in pools, I might even be frightened of water. I can't swim or jump into deep water and kick back to the side (without floaties.). I am a beginner. My teacher will be kind and gentle and will make learning fun, she or he will never use force. Rockets: I'm 4 years or older and relaxed in water, I can glide or kick through the water with my face in for a meter or more. I will learn to streamline, use my strong core muscles and long kicking legs as well as developing my breath control, all in preparation for learning my freestyle arms. I will continue to build on safety skills and ability to tread water and swim on my back. If I'm not at school the best classes for me will be Monday to Sunday mornings. If I am at school the best classes for me will be after school or Saturday or Sunday morning. Arms: I'm 4 years or older and have mastered my rockets.
