Course description
When children have graduated beyond Baby, Toddler or preschooler stages, or are joining us from other Swim Schools, they generally move into the more advanced preschooler levels, from Level 4 upwards, after that, they are happy, confident, and amazing little swimmers. They will be stronger at this stage and will be confident to begin swimming short distances with any floats. Safety skills and rescues are introduced. You will be blown away by how much they progress week by week and how happy and confident they become in the water. This is the follow up stage for those that have completed Pre School level 4.
