Structured swim sessions near the Annex that teach children how to float with control and confidence, using clear progression and attentive coaching. Ideal for families seeking practical water safety foundations and visible skill development, with small groups and consistent instruction—book a spot and see steady progress in every lesson.
Each session begins with a brief warm-up and water entry routine, followed by targeted drills for back and front floats. Instructors demonstrate positions, provide hands-on support, and use simple cues for head, hips, and breathing. Tools such as noodles and boards are introduced to isolate balance, then phased out to confirm independent control. Repetition is planned across sessions to secure technique, with small group sizes ensuring individual feedback and consistent progress tracking.
These lessons centre on buoyancy, body position, and calm breathing, giving children a reliable way to stay supported in the water. Sessions are delivered in heated pools near the Annex with age-appropriate drills and close supervision. The aim is consistent, repeatable floating skills that transfer across different pool settings.
Children learn to rest on their back with ears submerged, hips lifted, and eyes upward. Instructors use gentle support and cueing to build a stable starfish position, then reduce assistance as balance improves.
Students practise prone floating with face in the water, timed exhales, and smooth lifts to breathe. Drills include glide entries and short holds that strengthen alignment and comfort.
Lessons connect back and front floats through simple rolls and recoveries. This builds orientation and confidence, so children can change position without rushing or losing balance.
Skills are practised at varying depths, including pool entries and wall approaches. Children learn to establish a float quickly after entry and maintain position until ready to move.
Qualified instructors follow clear progressions, using tactile cues, kickboards, and buoyancy aids only when helpful. Children gain efficient body alignment, steady breathing, and the ability to hold a float without strain. The outcome is dependable water confidence that supports later stroke development and safer pool participation.
Programs are designed for young beginners through early swimmers, typically ages 3 to 10. Children are grouped by comfort level, with clear pathways from assisted floats to independent holds.
Most children show measurable progress within a few sessions, with independent floating developing over several weeks. Consistency and short, regular sessions support faster retention.
A fitted swimsuit, towel, and optional goggles are sufficient. All teaching aids are provided, and instructors advise on any additional items after the first session.
Expect small classes, warm water, and steady progression with visible milestones. Sessions run on set schedules near the Annex, with options for weekly enrolment. Parents can observe key drills and receive brief feedback after lessons to support practice and continuity.
