Swimming Lesson
Descriptions
Parent & Tot (6 – 35 months)
In this program we introduce your child to
water, build their water confidence, and
educate you as the parent on pertinent
water safety. Our program consists of
singing songs and playing interactive
games, through fun group activities we will
appeal to your child’s curiosity and desire
for play, while we increase their comfort
in and under the water. In addition, we
will promote balance and movement; and
begin swim skill acquisition.
Preschool 1 (Ages 3 – 5)
In this beginner level, all skills are
assisted by the instructor. Using games
and activities, swimmers will learn to
submerge, open their eyes under water,
develop basic floats, glides and kick.
Preschool 2 – 3 (Ages 3 – 5)
Swimmers will further develop unassisted
floats, glides, and kicking. They will learn
to swim up to 10 metres, and perform
skills in deep water.
Preschool 4 – 5 (Ages 3 – 5)
Swimmers will increase their swimming
distance to 20 metres, and their surface
support to 20 seconds. They will learn the
fundamentals of front crawl, back swim and
be introduced to whip kick. The majority of
this class is taught in deep water.
Swim Kids 1 – 2 (Ages 6+)
This entry level program provides an
orientation to safety around the water and
pool area. Floats and glides with kick are
introduced. Children build their endurance
using flutter kick with assisted glides.
Swim Kids 3 – 5 (Ages 6+)
These levels build the child’s skill in front
and back crawl, diving, sculling, and whip
kick. They are taught to be water safe by
understanding their own limits and learning
boating skills. Endurance is achieved by
building strength in the flutter kick and
dolphin kick, up to a 50-metre swim.
