Kids Programme
Our Kids Swimming Programme is designed to cater to children aged 3 and above. We believe in a fun and nurturing approach that helps children develop a love for the water.
Our programme takes swimmers from complete beginners to become competent in all four strokes, while also teaching them how to safely handle themselves in the water.
Rather than grouping by age, our levels are ability-based. However, we've provided general age groups to give you an idea of where your child might fit within our programme.
Children go to classes alone
This is the fastest and easiest way for the child to learn to trust their coach and subsequently to learn how to swim. When the guardian is there, the child is more likely to refuse instructions from any adult. For children not yet used to taking lessons, we respectfully ask the guardian to be out of sight. If you are not comfortable with this arrangement, please do consider joining our Tots 3 class or arrange for private lessons where you can accompany your child.
