From the age of five onwards, your child can join our Learn to Swim programme and will learn to master all four strokes with the right techniques. First, we start with Freestyle, followed by Backstroke, Butterfly and last but not least, Breaststroke. The goal for your child is to master the techniques within a short distance first. We focus on the form of the strokes through coordination between the arms and legs, which will allow your child to gain speed while swimming. Following which, we add the breathing techniques, and before you know it, your child will be able to swim the different strokes with proper forms.

Your child will be a competent swimmer after completing all Learn to Swim levels (the equivalent of 120 swim hours) at the average age of 8.
