The kids participating to this class are confident in the water. They need to be able to follow instructions. They will use swimming aids to perform basic movements. The key principle of this session is the ability to kick effectively. They will receive an introduction to water safety, breath control and to full stroke swimming. The class will develop children’s water skills of gliding under the water, free floating, kicking and an introduction to breaststroke & freestyle swimming strokes. This level teaches children side-breathing and increases the distance your child can swim with an introduction to technique.
Research shows that regular swimming increases oxygen delivery to the brain. By having a good time swimming, your child will be able to focus on daily activities and study more efficiently.
