At Wonderkids and Day Care, we proudly offer swimming lessons for all classes, conducted by fully qualified professionals. Our comprehensive program is designed for kids aged 3-7 and focuses on teaching water adjustment, basic swimming competency, and benchmark skills. The program consists of three stages:
- Water Acclimation
- Water Movement
- Water Stamina
Our swimming pool provides a safe and supportive environment for children to learn and develop essential swimming skills.
Stage 1: Water Acclimation
In this stage, preschoolers become comfortable with underwater exploration and are introduced to basic self-rescue skills, performed with assistance. The following skills are learned and practiced:
- Bobbing to submerge in water
- Gliding on their front and back to the wall for 5 feet without assistance
- Floating on their front and back for 10 seconds with assistance
- Rolling from back to front and front to back with assistance
- Jumping, pushing, turning, and grabbing the wall with assistance
- Swimming, floating, and swimming 10 feet with assistance
- Exiting the water safely
Stage 2: Water Movement
In this stage, we build on previous skills by learning how to swim to safety from a longer distance. The class introduces rhythmic breathing and integrates arm and leg actions. To progress to this stage, children should demonstrate mastery of all Stage 2 skills.
