We are often asked how long it takes to learn to swim. Mastering swimming, like any skill, depends greatly on a number of different factors. These can include age, natural ability, past experiences, willingness to learn, teaching style, etc. Thus, each student progresses at their own rate dependent on their own circumstances.
We start teaching children as young as 3 months, encouraging continuous progression as they age. This helps to nurture a love of swimming as well as their natural affinity with the water.
Our classes are comprised of small group, private or semi-private swimming lessons. So, our experienced instructors have the opportunity to work with each child’s individual strengths and weaknesses.
SwimWay teaches swimming without buoyancy aids. We focus on the idea that a child needs to learn to be safe and confident in the water. They will begin to learn by mastering their own comfort, balance and buoyancy in the water. After this has been achieved they can learn strokes and technique.
With SwimWay, parents have access to their child’s ongoing progress on our HomePortal system. During the term, our instructors update the progress of their students regularly. Thus, every couple of weeks you will be able to view your child’s development from the comfort of your home. We also encourage all our SwimWay parents to attend the lessons and see their children improve and progress with us.
