At Wonderkids and Day Care, we proudly offer swimming lessons for all classes, conducted by fully qualified professionals. Our comprehensive program is designed for kids aged 3-7 and focuses on teaching water adjustment, basic swimming competency, and benchmark skills. The program consists of three stages:

  1. Water Acclimation
  2. Water Movement
  3. Water Stamina

Our swimming pool provides a safe and supportive environment for children to learn and develop essential swimming skills.

Stage 1: Water Acclimation

In this stage, preschoolers become comfortable with underwater exploration and are introduced to basic self-rescue skills, performed with assistance. The following skills are learned and practiced:

  • Bobbing to submerge in water
  • Gliding on their front and back to the wall for 5 feet without assistance
  • Floating on their front and back for 10 seconds with assistance
  • Rolling from back to front and front to back with assistance
  • Jumping, pushing, turning, and grabbing the wall with assistance
  • Swimming, floating, and swimming 10 feet with assistance
  • Exiting the water safely

Stage 2: Water Movement

This stage focuses on developing body position and control, forward movement, and directional changes in the water. Additionally, children continue to practice safe exit techniques in case they fall into the water. By the end of this stage, kids are expected to master the following skills:

  • Comfortably going underwater and opening their eyes without goggles
  • Floating on their front and back with minimal assistance
  • Jumping into the pool, submerging, and returning to the wall with assistance

This class is suitable for children who are not yet able to perform a front and back float independently. In this stage, the following skills are practiced:

  • Submerging to look at an object on the bottom of the pool
  • Gliding on their front and back to the wall for 5 feet
  • Floating on their front and back for 10 seconds
  • Rolling from back to front and front to back
  • Jumping, pushing, turning, and grabbing the wall
  • Swimming, floating, and swimming 3 meters
  • Exiting the water safely

Stage 3: Water Stamina

In this stage, we build on previous skills by learning how to swim to safety from a longer distance. The class introduces rhythmic breathing and integrates arm and leg actions. To progress to this stage, children should demonstrate mastery of all Stage 2 skills.

This stage is suitable for kids who can't yet swim 3-6 meters on their front and back. In this stage, we practice the following skills:

  • Retrieving an object in chest-deep water
  • Swimming on front and back for 2 meters
  • Rolling from back to front and front to back
  • Jumping, pushing, turning, and grabbing (2 meters)
  • Swimming, floating, and swimming (2 meters)
