Cheer from the Sidelines
Preschool age children who have been participating regularly in swimming lessons or who have progressed from infant and toddler lessons, can now participate independently with the teacher
Preschool age children love showing off their skills throughout lessons, so even though parents and carers are not in the water, they have an important role to play in acknowledging small achievements and providing encouragement and emotional support
Not Quite Ready for Independent Participation?
Rest assured for those children that have little or no experience and are nervous, we have a transition level with parent and carer involvement until they are ready to move to the independent stage.
