LEARN TO SWIM
Our Learn to Swim program offers five class levels, beginning with water safety and progressing through to advanced.
Swimmers are continuously observed, and upon mastering the necessary skills for the next level, they undergo assessment, and their parents are informed. Progression through the levels is based on skill and ability. Each swimmer receives a certificate upon reaching a new level. It's vital to recognize that swimming proficiency develops at a personal pace for each individual. Children who are 4 years old or will turn 4 during the term are eligible to join.
