The Infant Programme is designed for children aged 6 months to 3 years and focuses on developing basic water familiarisation skills and promoting water safety through fun games, songs, and skill-based group activities. The programme encourages babies to kick, paddle, blow bubbles, and submerge, which helps in their safety and confidence in the water. An adult is required in the water at this level to assist children in the learning process, and infants are required to wear waterproof nappies.
The Pre-School Programme caters to children aged 3 to 5 years and aims to develop water familiarisation skills with a focus on building the foundations for stroke development. The programme includes safe entries/exits, star floats, kicking on front and back, blowing bubbles, and placing the face in the water. Floatation aids such as noodles and kickboards are introduced to develop confidence and establish a streamlined body position.
The School-Age Programme is designed for children aged 6 to 13 years and accommodates all skill abilities and confidence levels. Classes are structured to meet the individual needs and capabilities of each child, with a focus on developing excellent technique. Skills are taught progressively, and the programme ranges from beginner to introductory squad levels.
In addition to the programmes for children, Peninsula Swim School also offers private one-on-one lessons as well as group learn-to-swim lessons for adults. Whether you have never learned to swim or want to improve your swimming technique, the swim school has options for adults as well.
