Beginner Level
Ideal for non-swimmers or those nervous in water, this class introduces basic flotation and movement in a 0.8m shallow pool. You’ll build confidence, learn to relax, and enjoy the water while mastering fundamental skills. Progression to the Improvers Level is encouraged once comfortable.
Improvers Level
For swimmers who can float and glide on their front and back, this class takes place in a 25m pool with a depth of 1.0m. Focus areas include front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke, with a gradual introduction to deep water towards the end of the course to prepare for advanced levels.
Deep End
Designed for swimmers aiming to refine strokes and improve overall technique, this class includes stroke improvement, breathing control, diving, and tumble turns. Held in a 1.8m deep pool, you’ll practice half-lengths, swim with flippers, and learn the butterfly stroke. The course also includes tips on swimming drills for personal training.
