SWIM PROGRESSION
Our private 1:1 lessons use a proven, gentle progression to build your child's water confidence and safety skills at their own pace. Here is how we take your 4-year-old from splashing to swimming:
1. Building Trust & Comfort
Every great swimmer starts with a great bond. Your child will meet their dedicated coach, explore the pool environment, and get excited about the fun activities ahead through playful water games.
2. Master the Bubbles
We start in comfortable shallow water, teaching your child to blow big, happy bubbles. This foundational skill teaches proper breath control and helps them get completely comfortable with water near their face.
3. Face-Submersion Confidence
Using gentle countdowns and silly games, we gradually introduce dipping the face underwater. This step focuses on building total control, erasing water anxiety, and celebrating small victories.
4. Secure Back Floating
Floating is a critical lifesaving skill. With the coach providing full, secure physical support, your child will learn to relax, look at the sky, and experience the natural sensation of buoyancy.
5. Water Safety & Treading
Before moving deep, we practice treading water. Your child will learn to synchronize gentle arm paddles with continuous leg kicks, building the essential endurance needed to stay safely afloat in one spot.
6. Basic Backstroke Development
Building on their back float confidence, we add alternating reaching-arm strokes and a continuous flutter kick. This helps your child master swimming on their back with ease and steady breathing.
7. Kicks & Glides
Once the foundation is set, the real movement begins! Your child will practice powerful kicking from the pool wall and learn to glide smoothly through the water, building strength, coordination, and independence.
8. Introduction to Front Crawl
Time to pull it all together! We introduce big "rainbow" arm strokes alongside steady kicking, teaching your child the fundamentals of the front crawl for efficient, coordinated forward movement.
