Learn To Swim From Start to Finish at Blue Wave Swim School

At Blue Wave Swim School we know how much sports like swimming can help kids with staying active. A Happy Child is An Active Chid. Water doesn’t know how old you are so, literally everyone, adults, teenagers and a young child, can keep active through  swimming.

Studies have shown, across different age groups, children who regularly take part in sports and structured activities like swimming enjoy several other amazing benefits. Actually, a large study in Australia showed how participation in swimming lessons, especially in the early years, boosts children’s mental health and academic performance at school.

We Know the Benefits of Swimming

Generally, children who do sports, develop stronger muscles and bones and better coordination. Sporty children also develop better social skills and mental well-being which comes with the enjoyment of playing and having fun with other children in a safe environment.

Nothing could boost a child’s self-esteem and self-confidence more than being selected for his/her school’s team.

Learning the Technique in Swimming

Although some sports like football, the focus of coaches is mainly on teaching children how children should play together, swimming is different. Swimming is an individual sport and hence, you need to know the technique in order to do it competently and confidently.

In swimming, technique comes first and and how far and how fast individuals can swim is depending on their technique.

So, to become a good swimmer, plenty of learning and practice must take place to get the technique right.

So, our aim is to ensure that every child firstly develops a positive approach towards the water.

That is why we spend a great deal of time working on kids’ water confidence and basics like floatation and kicking from the word ‘get-go’.
