Swim lesson program
Our children’s swim lessons are structured in four levels—Beginner, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3—designed to build skills progressively. Starting with water safety basics, each level helps young swimmers gain confidence, improve technique, and advance to become strong, independent swimmers. Perfectly tailored to every child’s needs and abilities
Getting Wet
- Stage 1. Enter the water from standing position toward the swim instructor. Be turned toward the edge to hold. Hand walk along thr edge and climb out without assistance.
- Stage 2. Enter the water using slide in entry and hold onto the pool edge. With minimal assistance attempt to climb out of the pool.
- Stage 3. Safety jump into the water from a standing position toward the instructor and return to the wall ready to exit. Exit the water safely unassisted.
Breathing
- Stage 1. Independently submerge the face and hold breath.
- Stage 2. once breath control is mastered. Blow bubble with face fully submerged.
- Stage 3. Blow bubble with face fully submerged. Take a breath and repeat the sequence.
Going Underwater
- Stage 1. Experienced assisted and unassisted submersion and hold onto the pool edge.
- Stage 2. Demonstrate independent submersion.
- Stage 3. Initiate own submersion and recover securely. Retrieve object from the buttom of the poolin progressive deeper water.
Staying Afloat
- Stage 1. Float on front float and back using a flotation aid.
- Stage 2. Front and back floating with and without support. Building to 5 second release.
- Stage 3. Front and back floating with and without support. Building to 10 second release.
Keeping Balance
With assistance rotate body in a vertical position whilst holding a floating aid.
Basic kick and Arm action
Display independent propulsion of kick and paddle. Experience manipulation of the propulsion skills.
Enter water safety
Learning how to enter the water safely is a fundamental skill for all swimmers. This step teaches children and adults the safest ways to enter pools or natural water environments, emphasizing controlled entry techniques to build confidence and prevent accidents
Exhale in the water
Breathing control is a key part of comfortable swimming. This skill focuses on exhaling while submerged, helping swimmers become more at ease with their faces in the water. It’s an essential first step to mastering breath control, which allows for smoother swimming strokes
Open eyes underwater
For many, keeping their eyes open underwater can feel intimidating. This exercise encourages swimmers to look around beneath the surface, helping them build confidence and spatial awareness. It’s also helpful for improving orientation and safety in the water
Submerge
Going fully underwater is a big step in learning to swim. This skill is all about becoming comfortable with full-body submersion, allowing swimmers to feel the water around them and begin building the foundation for skills like floating and diving
Glide forward and recover
Gliding forward teaches swimmers to propel themselves gently through the water while maintaining balance. This skill introduces the basics of streamlined body position and provides a low-resistance method for moving forward, followed by a smooth recovery to a standing or floating position
Float
Glide back ward and recover. Learning to float on the back helps with breath control, relaxation, and water confidence. Swimmers practice gliding backward with balance and coordination, then recover by safely returning to an upright or standing position. This sequence helps build a calm, confident approach to moving in the water
Water safety sequence
This comprehensive sequence includes key water safety skills, such as treading water, floating, and breathing techniques, to prepare swimmers for unexpected situations. The goal is to ensure that swimmers know how to stay safe, calm, and in control if they ever find themselves in challenging or open water
Glide forward and kick 3 m
in this skill, swimmers practice gliding forward with a steady kick, propelling themselves for a distance of 3 meters. It focuses on body alignment, core strength, and leg coordination, helping swimmers build a foundation for efficient forward movement in the water.
Glide backward. Kick and recover
This skill teaches swimmers to glide backward while kicking, providing experience with reverse movement and control in the water. After gliding, swimmers learn to recover to a stable position, enhancing their overall balance, orientation, and confidence
Swim 5m freestyle
Freestyle is often the first full stroke swimmers learn. Swimming 5 meters of freestyle introduces the basics of arm movement, kicking, and breath coordination. This skill focuses on rhythmic breathing and building the stamina needed for longer distances as swimmers progress
Basic breast stroke hand movement
The basic hand movement of breaststroke introduces swimmers to a more controlled, slower stroke. This step emphasizes coordination, arm strength, and body position, preparing swimmers for a full breaststroke technique while building upper body endurance
Scull/tread water
Sculling and treading water are essential survival skills. Swimmers learn to use gentle hand and leg movements to stay afloat in place, an important technique for rest and stability in deep water. This skill develops both endurance and confidence, allowing swimmers to feel secure when they’re not moving forward
Water safety sequence
Building on previous skills, this sequence reinforces vital safety techniques. Swimmers practice controlled floating, treading water, and safe recovery methods to prepare them for unexpected situations. This sequence ensures that swimmers have the skills to remain safe and calm in open or unfamiliar water environments
Freestyle swim 10m. Breathing
Swimming 10 meters of freestyle with integrated breathing techniques helps swimmers build endurance and refine their breathing rhythm. This skill focuses on coordinating breath timing with arm strokes, allowing swimmers to swim longer distances confidently and efficiently
Glide Backward and kick 5m
This backward glide with kicking for 5 meters further develops reverse movement skills and leg strength. It encourages swimmers to focus on controlled backward propulsion, enhancing body awareness, stability, and comfort in the water
Breast stroke leg action. Swim 5 m. on Back
Mastering the leg action of breaststroke introduces swimmers to the unique “frog kick” that is essential to this stroke. Practicing this movement helps develop lower body strength and coordination, setting the foundation for a full breaststroke technique in later stages.
Swimming on the back builds confidence and independence in the water. This skill allows swimmers to practice balance and breathing control, as they learn how to use their body position and leg kicks to maintain a smooth and steady backstroke for 5 meters
Survival Sculling
Survival sculling is a crucial skill for staying afloat in a stationary position with minimal effort. Swimmers practice subtle hand and arm movements to keep their heads above water, providing them with a low-energy survival technique that’s invaluable for rest or safety in deep water
Forward Roll
The forward roll introduces swimmers to underwater turning and spatial awareness. This skill encourages comfort with submersion and orientation changes, helping swimmers develop the skills they’ll need for safe diving and underwater maneuvers
Water safety sequence
This sequence reinforces critical water safety techniques, building on earlier skills. Swimmers practice floating, treading, and recovery techniques in a structured sequence, enhancing their readiness to handle unexpected situations. The goal is to equip swimmers with essential survival skills for various water
