Develop a basic freestyle stroke through learning big arms. We also teach buoyancy through floating and backstroke kicking in our Octopus swimming lessons.
What is an Octopus?
Confident independent swimmers
Small group class of 4
Strong mobility skills (paddling and kicking)
Can put their eyes in the water and blow bubbles
Can propel themselves unassisted through the water
Lots of activities and games to make learn to swim fun
Developing freestyle skills using “big arms”
Developing mobility and buoyancy skills through independent kicking, paddling and floating
Teaching self-propulsion through the water with eyes down
By the time a child is ready to graduate from the Octopus class, they will be an independent swimmer with a strong kick and arm movements that can propel them through the water.
