Starting from 4 years old, the Stroke Development and Water Safety program is all about taking a child’s confidence and independence in the water and putting it towards developing a basic understanding of the freestyle and backstroke swimming techniques.

The Stroke Development Program is a skills-based program which is not limited by age. We have established three exciting levels in this program to encourage independence and enjoyment. In these levels, they will learn and build upon their freestyle and backstroke technique, as well as learning important water safety skills such as back floating, sculling and treading water.
