Swimming Lessons
- Built to share knowledge - Once children are comfortable and confident in the water, swimming becomes fun and easy. Our Junior Whalers coaches focus on sharing their love of the sport while helping swimmers build skills.
- Progression-Based Program - We start with foundational skills that assist with harder skills that happen at the end of the class. Each class starts slightly more challenging than the last.
- Meet them where they’re at - Every swimmer develops differently. If a child can swim 25m on their back but only 10m on their front, we continue to grow their strengths while supporting the areas that need more practice.
- Introducing Sport - Swimming is a sport, and we give children the foundational knowledge to SWIM! Junior Whalers is just one of our pathways to join our Mainstream Program.
