School Age Lessons

School age lessons, whether organized by a parent/caregiver or during the day through your child’s school, are a wonderful way for children to develop their swimming potential, to enable them to compete confidently in school swimming and zones competitions and to actively encourage their health and fitness.  In the higher levels the groups transistion into the big pool to further distance but also to let children experiance deep water in a safe environment.
