LEARN TO SWIM 4 YEARS OLD - 15 YEARS OLD

           AIM & OBJECTIVE OF LEARN TO SWIM PROGRAM

             Teach children a wide range of skills, which results in competent, confident and safe swimmers who will have a love of swimming and a skill base to develop further techniques in a wide range of water-based sports.

               Just as all children do not learn to walk, talk or read at the same age, nor do they learn to swim at the same rate. At Swim Otter we do not place any accelerated expectations ahead of the student’s actual readiness to learn a skill.

              All students learn to kick when they swim but some do it on the first day, while others do it only after a great deal of time, motivation and practice. Being able to swim on the first day does not make one student better, smarter or stronger than another student who learn later it simply means they are different and unique individuals. Students are not pressurized or pushed to perform, but guided to develop their skills at rate they are comfortable with.
