The easiest way for a child to learn a new skill is through fun and games. Our lessons focus on enjoyment in the water, confidence building and helping children feel happy and relaxed as they learn.
This will vary with every swimmer, depending on their skills and experience. Some children are more naturally competent and confident in the water and therefore will progress faster. Other children are slower to learn new skills but can quite often become stronger more proficient swimmers as they progress.
Most children are ready for swim lessons by the age of 4, at which point they can typically learn basic water survival skills such as floating, treading water and getting to an exit point. By age 5 or 6, they can usually master the front crawl. The important thing to remember is it’s never too late to learn how to swim!
