Our Learn to Swim
program is a series of levels designed to put
together the many different aspects of swimming
all four strokes.
Our classes are
specifically designed to enable your child to
progress at his or her own pace, with a focus on
achieving their own personal best.

Learn-to-Swim
Levels
* LEARN-TO-SWIM 1
(LTS1)
This level will
take your child through the last few steps of
total water confidence. Deep water treading and
submerging will ensure that your child is
confident and competent in the water
environment.
Your child will set up a strong body position
for freestyle and backstroke in preparation for
learning freestyle and backstroke arms.
* LEARN-TO-SWIM 2 (LTS2)
Children
progressing to LTS 2 have achieved a
comfortable, well balanced head and body
position. These are very important ingredients
for swimming efficiently. We now concentrate on
freestyle and backstroke arms while maintaining
the body position.
*
LEARN-TO-SWIM 3 (LTS3)
Children at this
level are swimming freestyle and backstroke with
great efficiency.
LTS 3 sees a
greatly increased learning curve with the
introduction of breathing in freestyle,
breaststroke arms and legs and butterfly legs.
* LEARN-TO-SWIM 4
(LTS4)
We now start to
increase the distance your child can swim while
maintaining efficiency.
We will further
develop breaststroke and butterfly while
introducing bi-lateral breathing (breathing both
sides in freestyle) and an advanced shoulder
roll for backstroke.
* STROKE DEVELOPMENT (SD)
Now it's time to increase to a more advanced skill level while maintaining stroke effeciency. Stroke development will challenge young swimmers as they learn more difficult swimming skills.
* PRE MINI (PM)
We will finish
off/correct any stroke deficiencies in our
Pre Mini level as well as increasing
the amount of swimming your child can do at a
high efficiency level.
Upon completion of
this level, swimmers will be swimming all four
strokes with a high level of skill and
efficiency and ready to take on the challenges
of Mini Squad.
