The MultiSport swim programme aims
to teach the fundamentals of water safety and develop the necessary
skills to swim efficiently and gracefully with confidence. Children
may progress from Parent and Baby classes through to swimming
confidently in the four principal strokes and will also have
the opportunity to advance through the Amateur
Swimming Association badge award scheme. The National (U.K)
Plan for Teaching Swimming (NPTS) award schemes are not only
a great incentive and motivator for participants, but also provide
international assessment against clearly defined criteria.The
following class descriptions provide an indication of suitable
level although streaming of classes in line with ability and
award level shall take place. |
Lessons are available for adults upon request.
MultiSport Coaches are ASA or Aust-Swim qualified swim teachers.
