As instructors, we'll try our best to keep our teaching method effective, simple and straight forward. And we will always keep ourself updated with the swimming techniques development and simplify the teaching method without neglecting the swimming strokes and techniques.
In order to create a more effective, communicable, efficient yet simplified swimming teaching method and program, we came up with this ESS (Everyone Should Swim) progression chart for students/alumni to self-review your own progress. As swimmers, you should be aware of your own progress and thus this chart is developed for your reference. This chart consists of knowledge levels and which skills are taught and learned at each level. By end of each level, you should be able to demonstrate the skills taught before progressing to the next level.
We believe that this chart is adequately prepared with necessary skills progression in order for you to become competent swimmers. Different progress chart are constructed for both adults and kids. For kids, we'll concentrate more on preparing them to be ready for swimming with good techniques and posture up to competitive level and as for adults, program is more towards leisure swimming, lifesaving and exercise for fitness and stamina.
We encouraged you to swim more and do a lot of practise to get the comfort in swimming.
I Hear and I Forget, I See and I Remember, I Do And I Understand..:)
