The Preschool Program gives children a head start on learning to swim. Preschool Programs develop an appreciation and healthy respect for the water before these kids get in too deep. In our preschool progressions, we work to ensure 3 to 5yr old become comfortable in the water and have fun developing a foundation of water skills. We incorporate Lifesaving Society Water Smart® education in all preschool levels.
Preschool 1
These preschoolerslearn to get in and out of the water safely. They will learn to move safely in shallow water and use a lifejacket to be comfortable with their floats and glides.
Preschool 2
These youngsters will explore the water learning to submerge and exhale underwater. Buoyant aids are
used to help them discover rollovers, glides, and flutter kicks.
Preschool 3
These preschoolers will master their floats, glides, and short swims on their front and back (2-3 m). They will be able to pick up objects from the waist deep water and use their life jackets to jump and roll into the deep end.
Preschool 4
These capable preschoolers will strengthen their flutter kicks and try swimming front crawl. They will start to learn how to support themselves in deep water and in the end, they will do solo jumps and side rolls into deep water. Their lifejacket will support them while they learn to tread water and swim to safety (5-10m) in the deep end.
