PARENT & TOT AND PRESCHOOL PROGRAM

We focus on customized small group instruction in an intimate, private setting. Participants in our programs achieve goals that are far above average expectations due to the Swim Fins program, excellent instruction and small class sizes. In summary, our students Learn to Swim in 1/4 of the time!

We teach the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life program to infants (4 months and older), preschoolers, school-aged children and adults. This program meets the emerging needs of Canadians by teaching them how to be strong swimmers and how to be safe around water. They also encourage increased physical activity. Lessons are taught in an enjoyable learning atmosphere that utilizes play, creative expression, self-discovery and independent thinking to achieve the goals of the lesson.

PRESCHOOL:

(FOR AGE 3-6 YEARS)

A fun five-level preschool program with flexible entry and exit points - children enter levels based on age and then progress based on either age or ability.
Colourful, fun mascots that are used on stickers and progress booklets created specifically for preschoolers.
Five levels increase opportunity for parents and their children to take swimming and water safety lessons at an earlier age. Older preschoolers learn in small groups with a qualified instructor.
Preschoolers learn basic swimming skills such as breath control, buoyancy, arm and body movements and progress to more advanced skills such as floating, gliding, kicking, and swimming up to 10 metres.

PARENT & TOT:

(FROM AGE 4 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS)

At Swim Fins, we strongly encourage families to get their babies swimming as young as 4 months to kick start the life skill of swimming and water safety. For our babies/toddlers, we offer Parent & Tot lessons (where parent and child go in the pool together with other parents).
Babies as young as four months old may be enrolled and may participate in program with the instructor and their parent.
All swimming skills start with safety, so children and their parents learn how to stay warm, when and how to get help, choking prevention and the best ways to enter and exit the pool.

Fun is the key to both programs, so as children learn they enjoy games, songs, and relay activities making learning enjoyable - from little Jellyfish to graduation as swimming Narwhals!
