CLOTHING CHECK:

 

Upon completing any of our Water Safety and Survival Swimming courses at SwimStories, children participate in a unique Summer and Winter Clothing Test. This is crucial because many aquatic accidents occur outside regular swim times. We aim to equip our children with practical experience and full proficiency in handling such scenarios.

​

This test, is conducted only when a child is consistent in attendance and ready both developmentally and emotionally. Successfully passing this test allows the child to progress to weekly Maintenance Lessons on Fridays, ensuring they are skilled and prepared for real-world water scenarios.

MAINTENANCE LESSONS

Our weekly sessions, held Monday through Thursday, are all about practicing essential survival skills and introducing stroke correction in a fun, engaging way!

 

Children can join once or twice a week for focused 10 or 20-minute lessons, tailored to their age and readiness. Each maintenance lesson is one-on-one, ensuring every child gets personalised attention—no group sessions here!

 

With a splash of fun, each lesson features water toys, animal floats, and exciting games, making it enjoyable for all ages and skill levels.

SwimStories is not just about learning to swim; it's about building confidence, safety, and joy in the water. With our dedicated approach, your child transforms from a survival swimmer to a recreational one, enjoying every moment in the pool!
