NOTES TO PARENTS/GUARDIAN:

~ We'll first have to evaluate the child before enrolling them to this course. Evaluation class is free, most importantly we just want to see whether your child is ready for swimming lesson.
~ We're not going to straight away teaching strokes for children at this age. We must first build their confidence and independency in the water before start teaching strokes i.e Breastroke, Freestyle, Backstroke or Butterfly
~ Swimming course for child at this age requires longer time period. Each class is 30minutes. Please do not expect your child to be able to swim freestyle within 1 month. It's impossible. Therefore, we'll normally discuss and explain to you on this matter and enquire whether are you willing to enrol your child for long term course. If you're not willing to do that, we'll advise that you send your children for swim lessons when they reach 7 years.

When they have acquired the needed independency and confidence in the water, we'll proceed to teaching them strokes, starting from:

Front Crawl aka Freestyle
Breaststroke
Backstroke
Butterfly
