Stage Two - Learn to Swim - Mainly taught at Carr Junior School and Mount School Pool

 

At the next stage, swim aids will be removed in stages.

​

The pupil has to re-established their balance and co-ordination in the water. This can take time and patience from both child and parents. 



All children are difference, so they all take different lengths of time to learn.

​

Some children take to breast stroke easily yet may hate putting their face in the water; others may live under the water but may not feel confident on their back.

​

So it is best never to compare one child to another. Even siblings!!

​

When good co-ordination has been achieved, for breast stroke, back stroke and front crawl over the distance of 5m without out aids; the child will move to the next level.

​

If you continue swimming at the same time as lessons, confidence grows and swimming will become enjoyable and more relaxed. Children then achieve more!
