BEGINNERS (1 YEAR - ADULT)
The purpose of this course is to foster in very young children a high comfort level in the water while at the same time training parents and caregivers in water safety and drowning prevention. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it does provide a confidence-building, fun, and loving experience.
PADI® SWIM SCHOOL – (1YEAR - ADULT)
Students work toward development of the five core swimming competencies and receive colour stage awards for each achievement. The colour stages are used to divide students into broad ability groups. Children progress at individual rates with the opportunity to learn the core swimming skills and progress to advanced strokes. Learning is self-paced but challenging.
PADI® STROKE SCHOOL
Students refine freestyle and learn stroke technique for backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke, and more!
At this level swimming, is all about overall improvement and pushing boundaries.
