Frequently Asked Questions
Most swim schools just teach the basic four strokes: Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly. Water can be dangerous even if your child can swim well. Kids do unexpected things, swimming into pipes and places that need specialized skills to escape. Since our focus is on lifesaving skills, it's important to know how to move in all directions without effort. These skills can save their life.
We teach all four strokes to give every child the opportunity to learn and discover the strokes they feel most confident with. They stay more interested in swimming because of the variety. For some children, freestyle and backstroke can be more difficult since they require more coordination. A child that struggles with those strokes could have more success with breaststroke or butterfly techniques.
We take children from 3 years of age onwards or once they are toilet trained.
Every child is unique, making it difficult to give an accurate answer. Generally, it takes 3 to 4 terms for school age students to master each level. Preschoolers who swim consistently from age 3-5 develop far greater water awareness and confidence. The best way to support learning is to take them to public pools at least once per week to practice.
Goggles can help enhance the learning experience by making underwater activities more comfortable. Our teaching program encourages swimming without goggles for safety reasons - if they fall in or need to cope in different water environments. However, we do recommend them for children who don't like putting their head underwater without protection.
