KIDDIES 1 & 2

Children who are more confident and skilled, needing less and less support and progressing to more independence swimming activities.

Kiddies Level 1: 4 to 5 years old.

Fun water confidence & safety exercises introducing freestyle and backstroke foundations.

Kiddies Level 2: 4 to 5 years old.

Progressing freestyle and backstroke whilst introducing breaststroke, the emphasis on a fun, yet effective, learning environment.

At Kiddies Level 1 & 2, children are often strong enough, co-ordinated enough and have built up the stamina to do many things independently.    Parental support is much reduced and children are encouraged to do things increasingly with little or no support.

Kiddies level 1 & 2 often thrive underwater.  They learn better breath control and can swim short distances alone, bring their head up to breath.  Kiddies 2 children can jump in a variety of ways, dive, surface alone, retrieve toys from the bottom and have basic skills for moving on to more formal swimming techniques.

Parents may move to the side and monitor from inside the pool if the class allows this.  

Experienced Kiddie swimmers can progressively swim without their adult. Parents are still required to be present in the pool.
