Children’s Advanced Swimming

This course consists of 7 x 45-minute, highly-structured training sessions. It is for children aged 8 and upwards.

It gives the opportunity to develop and refine stroke technique and to improve stamina but also to learn and develop aspects of competitive swimming and basic water safety. A range of games are included which enliven the classes and increase social interaction as well as reinforcing the water skills being learnt.

Basically to sum up, children must be competent in 3 of the 4 main competitive strokes (i.e. freestyle, breast stroke and back crawl). The fourth competitive stroke developed in advanced swimming classes is the butterfly.

Children should also be competent in side stroke, as apart for the butterfly, stroke technique is not taught in this class.

If you are unsure of your child’s ability, a pre-assessment can be arranged. Please contact 027 66134, or email info@the waterschool.ie

Swimming skills are good ground work for all the other water-based recreational activities and sports like kayaking, scuba diving, surfing and more.

A new course of classes will be starting on November 8th 2022.

We are unable to take bookings at the moment, but if you would like to go on the waiting list for these classes please email us at info@thewaterschool.ie with all the child’s details.
