Learn To Swim Lessons for Primary Schoolers: 4 years and older
|
Our aim for your primary schooler is to develop good swimming skills while still enjoying the learn to swim experience.
Skills taught in this program range from beginner water confidence and treading water to the more formal strokes such as freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. Children are graded by both their skill and physical maturity so that all children in the class are of a similar level. Each class runs for thirty minutes and has a maximum of five children per teacher. Individual swimming skills in our program have been broken down for ease of learning. As your child masters each skill, new skills are added until your child has a good grasp of the stroke. |
