Empowering through Water Safety Lessons
Our swimming lessons aim to nurture not just swimming skills, but also life-saving water safety knowledge. The lessons during Water Safety Week are specifically designed to allow children to earn their Water Safety Awards, crucial recognition of their awareness and adaptability around water.
Structured Learning for All Stages
Children in different stages will have lessons tailored to their learning needs, each aiming to complete their respective Water Safety Award. The attire for each stage has been chosen to simulate real-life scenarios, enhancing the practical learning experience. Please could parents send their children in with the following clothing;
- Stages 1 - 3: Regular swimwear, focusing on the foundations of safety awareness
- Stages 4 - 6: Light clothing over swimwear, introducing adaptive safety skills
- Stages 7 & 8: Full clothing over swimwear, mastering advanced safety and self-rescue skills
Let’s embrace this opportunity to make water safety a priority, to learn, and to share good practices with our communities. See you at the pool!
