A New Philosophy of Swimming
This swimming program is built on a new philosophy—where playtime together is the most important part, and the skills learned are just a bonus. Through engaging games, children don’t even realize they’re learning essential swimming techniques; they’re simply having fun.
The first and most valuable lesson you’ll teach a child is to love the water. And once a child loves the water, nothing feels difficult—especially when it’s all about playing together!
Learning Through Repetition & Progression
Children learn best through repetition. Each swimming lesson plan should be practiced until the child fully masters the skill before moving on to the next level. The lesson plans follow a familiar structure, with new challenges gradually introduced so the child always feels comfortable and confident in their progress.
Survival Swimming: The Foundation of Water Safety
Survival swimming teaches children the correct body position and movement in the water—forming a foundation for all swimming styles, including freestyle and backstroke. More importantly, it teaches them how to stay safe.
When a child becomes tired or needs to breathe, they will instinctively roll onto their back, rest, and float. This ability is a lifesaving skill, ensuring they can stay safe in the water without panicking or using excessive energy.
The Greatest Challenge: Learning to Relax
Relaxation is the most difficult yet essential skill to teach a child—because children are naturally full of energy. However, learning to slow down, breathe, and float is not only crucial for swimming but also an invaluable life lesson.
As teachers, we must also embrace this challenge—to slow down, listen, and patiently guide our little learners. In today’s fast-paced world, the ability to relax is a rare but indispensable skill.
