swim academy south west london
Cheshire
Our 'beginners' level, Level 1 is often the first time that children enter the
pool without their parent and our whole focus is on water confidence, basic
water safety and the foundation skills for independent swimming. The ratios are
small to enable a rapport to build between the teacher and children - and it
quickly does. Level 2 By Level 2, our children are swimming 5m and lifting their
head to breathe. We now work with them to build their confidence further. We
still operate a small class ratio but there are more group activities,
reflecting the increased level of ability in this group e.g. we will send them
for swims in groups of 2 or 3 to and from the teacher and the poolside. There is
less reliance on buoyancy aids (floats and woggles) and the teachers become
gradually more hands off.
