What skills will my little one learn?

At the age when a child’s progression really comes to the forefront, learning to swim can be a platform for progression in other areas.

Oceans of Imagination’ introduces immersive, fantastical worlds and dynamic characters that will take little ones on a vibrant and stimulating learning journey.

Using tried and tested techniques, we’ve created an experience where learners will unlock new challenges as their skills develop and uncover missions around core aquatic skills, swimming strokes, and water safety milestones that will help them grow their water confidence.

We’ll build on the fundamental skills they’ve learnt in the first year, and with your support help them to gain more independence. They’ll now start to use their arms and legs on their own and be able to travel small distances in the water by themselves. We’ll use songs, games and activities to help them learn through guided play. They’ll be introduced to our ‘Echo school’, which will help them learn basic life skills like counting, sorting and identifying colours. Their technique will have improved too and we’ll now start to introduce them to basic breaststroke.

Their aquatic breathing will now have developed, and they’ll start to blow bubbles rhythmically. This is important in developing their front crawl technique, and we’ll encourage them to start to roll to breathe when swimming short distances.
