Group Swim Lessons Swim Basics Stage 5

For school-age kids, we offer progressive swimming lessons that build on water safety skills developed at each stage, fostering confidence and ensuring safety. With safety as the foundation, children develop essential water skills before advancing to swim strokes. 

After mastering the basics, students begin building stronger stroke techniques. These lessons not only boost their swimming ability but also support their overall well-being—helping them stay healthy, build confidence, and enjoy a lifetime of active fun.
