Tips for getting your child started in swimming

  • Start early. The earlier you start your child in swimming lessons, the better. Kids who learn to swim at a young age are more likely to be comfortable in the water and less likely to be afraid of it.
  • Find a qualified instructor. When choosing a swimming instructor for your child, be sure to find someone who is qualified and experienced. Look for an instructor who is certified.
  • Make it fun. Swimming should be a fun and enjoyable experience for your child. If your child is not having fun, they are less likely to want to continue swimming. Praise your child for their accomplishments and encourage them to keep trying.

 

Our Different Kids’ Swimming Lessons

Our kids’ swimming classes cover water safety, for both shallow and deep end, and learning how to swim the different swimming strokes.

1. Kid’s Individual Swimming Classes: Individual classes are personalized and are one-on-one with the instructor. The classes cater for beginners and intermediates. We ensure that each kid learns water survival skills and how to swim safely.

2. Kids’ Group Swimming Classes: We have kids’ group classes for individuals who would like to learn as a group. The group classes are for siblings (two or more kids coming for classes) or our long holiday group classes. Whether the kids are complete beginners or looking to enhance their technique or learn a new stroke, we cater to your specific needs.
