STROKE DEVELOPEMENT

Ages 6 and over. Teacher / Pupil Ratio 1 : 6

As young swimmers evolve into confident swimmers, our comprehensive stroke development program propels them to new heights of skill and proficiency. Rooted in proven methodologies, our program goes beyond basic swimming techniques to cultivate a foundation for competitive excellence.

Under the guidance of our expert coaches, swimmers skills are refined to improve energy efficiency and performance. We encourage all our students to embrace sportsmanship and ethical conduct in every stroke. From perfecting racing dives and turns to mastering stroke drills and utilizing pace clocks, our curriculum prepares swimmers for the rigors of competitive swimming with precision and artistry.

Beyond the pool, the benefits extend far and wide. Engaging in a structured stroke development program instills invaluable life skills, including time management and enhanced cognitive function. While not every swimmer may pursue competitive endeavours, the discipline and focus honed in our program translate seamlessly to academic pursuits, fostering a holistic approach to personal growth and success.

Dive in with us and unlock the full potential within your child, both in and out of the water.

Additional Benefits:

Swimming engages both hemispheres of the brain, promoting holistic cognitive development. Each stroke offers unique benefits:

  • Breaststroke fosters coordination of arms and legs, promoting symmetry
  • Freestyle enhances central control and cerebral integration
  • Backstroke improves central control and coordination
  • Butterfly stroke develops postural control and coordination
  • Diving builds leverage and momentum comprehension
  • Tumble turns require forward and backward rotation
  • Breath control enhances respiratory function and strengthens abdominals.

Introduction to Competitive Swimming

Once our young swimmers demonstrate competence, they’re invited to join entry-level Fun/Novice/Level 0 Swimming Galas, supported by instructors as needed. These Galas offer a gentle introduction to competitive swimming, featuring fun events like kicker board races. Participants gain valuable experience in larger pool settings, cooler water temperatures, and the excitement of noisy environments. This exposure helps alleviate any intimidation, ensuring they’re well-prepared for their debut in school or club galas.
