We believe that there are many advantages in joining the swimming class. The three more important being:
- Water familiarisation
- Exercise and development of motor skills
- Regular swimming builds endurance, muscle strength and cardio-vascular fitness
Swimming
Our swimming class is for children at all ages. The program is designed to introduce the swimmer to water and to gain confidence and respect for the water. Such skills as submergung, floating and the promotion through water are developed at the first classes. The Teacher will handle the class entirely, however there will be an open class, when the parents can watch, wave and encourage their young swimmers. The emphasis is on movement through the water first using a special under-arm developemed stroke that leads to full Freestyle stroke at a later stage.
