Six levels for kids 4 and up, from first floats to butterfly and 300 m swims, in your own pool.
Your child learns to breathe out gently whenever their mouth or nose is in the water. It keeps water out of the nose, stops the gulping and coughing, and makes every swim feel calmer.
All agesYour child learns to breathe out with the face in the water, lift to breathe in, and repeat it calmly. This rhythm is what lets a swimmer keep going instead of stopping every few seconds for air.
Kids · Teens · Adults · SeniorsYour child learns to turn the head to the side to breathe in front crawl, instead of lifting it up. It is the step that lets front crawl keep going for a whole length and beyond.
Your child learns to breathe comfortably to either side in front crawl, not just their favourite. It helps keep the stroke even and gives them a choice when one side gets splashy.
Your child learns to fit the breath into breaststroke and butterfly at just the right moment. Good timing makes these strokes smoother, less tiring and more fun.
Your child learns why long breath-holding underwater is dangerous, and how to say no to those games. It is a short, important safety lesson that protects them at any pool, with or without you there.
Your child learns to calm their breathing in the water after a busy swim, without grabbing the wall or standing up. It is a simple reset that helps them stay calm, rest, then carry on or head for the edge.
Your child learns to lie flat and relaxed on the water, face down, and let it hold them up, then stand up again calmly. It builds trust in the water and is the starting shape for swimming on the front.
All agesYour child learns to lie back on the water, face to the sky, and breathe easily while it holds them up. It is one of the most useful skills in swimming, because on the back the face stays out of the water.
