LITTLE SWIMMERS WEEKLY
WHAT IS THE LITTLE SWIMMERS WEEKLY PROGRAM?
​
Little Swimmers Weekly is the natural next step after survival training.
It is designed for young children who already know how to float, breathe, and roll, and are now ready to practise those skills regularly as they begin their journey into early swimming.
​
This program:
-
Strengthens survival foundations
-
Builds confidence and independence
-
Introduces early stroke movements
-
Provides calm, nurturing one-on-one support
-
Helps your child maintain and develop their hard-earned skills
​
It is the bridge between a “survival swimmer” and a confident, recreational swimmer.
​
WHO THIS PROGRAM IS FOR:
-
Children who have completed the Floater Course
-
Children who have completed the Swim–Float–Swim Course
-
Children needing consistent weekly reinforcement
-
Children preparing for longer lessons (20–30 min)
-
Children transitioning toward stroke development
-

​
Every child progresses at their own pace. LSW allows us to adjust lessons gently to their developmental needs.
​

HOW THE LESSONS WORK:
Little Swimmers Weekly offers:
-
Once- or twice-weekly lessons
-
Monday to Friday scheduling options
-
Individual one-on-one sessions
-
10- or 20-minute lessons, depending on age and readiness

Each session is short, focused and designed specifically for young children.
Short lessons maintain engagement, protect emotional safety and support consistent skill retention.
Every lesson is built to keep your child confident, supported and happy in the water.
WHY THIS PROGRAM WORKS:
Children master skills through repetition, rhythm and emotional safety.
Weekly lessons provide just the right amount of consistency without overwhelming young nervous systems.
​
The Little Swimmers Weekly Program works because it:
-
Reinforces core survival skills
-
Builds muscle memory
-
Supports children emotionally
-
Allows them to progress naturally
-
Keeps their bond with the instructor strong
-
Ensures they do not regress between survival stages
This is how your child develops from a survival swimmer into a child who enjoys swimming confidently for fun.
