Our Learn-to-Swim programme is a structured, three-phase journey from first splashes to competitive readiness. Classes run at a strict maximum ratio of 1 instructor to 3 children — ensuring every child receives individual attention at every session. Using water-safety drills, interactive games, and deliberate skill-building, children progress naturally through each phase at their own pace, always with qualified instructor oversight.
The Three-Phase Journey:
Foundation
- Water familiarisation and overcoming initial fear
- Breath control, submersion, and bubble blowing
- Wall push-offs, gliding, and basic kicking
- Water-safety rules and pool awareness drills
- Introductory back-float and treading water
Intermediate
- Freestyle (front crawl) with correct breathing technique
- Backstroke body position and arm coordination
- Breaststroke kick timing and pull cycle
- Introduction to Butterfly body undulation
- Building distance and lane discipline
Advanced
- Competitive stroke refinement across all four strokes
- Racing starts from the block and in the water
- Tumble turns and open turns at the wall
- Relay changeovers and race-pace conditioning
- Preparation for school galas and time trials
Maximum class ratio: 1 instructor to 3 children — your child is always seen.
