School Age Levels

 

SWIMMAGIC SCHOOL AGE ‘LEARN TO SWIM' PROGRAMME

At SwimMagic, our School age ‘Learn to Swim' programme is broken down into 5 levels, a common theme runs throughout, and that is doing the basics, and doing the basics very well. On entry into the programme we will assess your child based on their ability to achieve these basic skills.

In referring to ‘basic skills' we are referring to the key skills necessary for your child to be able to swim, and swim well enough should they find themselves in difficulty in the water. I.e. testing their understanding of body position in the water, their ability to glide, their ability to kick while maintaining body position etc.

On placement into the programme your child will develop the key skills necessary to achieve, making sure that at the appropriate stage in your child's development, they are being introduced to the correct new skills that will see them developing as swimmers.

Should you have any questions, or want to find out how we can assist you in finding solutions for your families swimming then please don't hesitate to contact one of our friendly team.
