Water beasts (Vesipedot)
For children aged from 1.5 to 3 years. The children will play, practise their balance and also dive. The structure of the lessons is designed to improve the child's basic physical activity skills as well as to get them used to water and to develop their water skills. Swimming time 30 min.
Water termites (Vesitermiitit)
For children aged from 3 to 5 and their parents. The children practise putting their faces in water, diving, jumping off the pool edge, floating, gliding and the fundamentals of swimming. The group learns through play. The group has two instructors, which means that any differences in the participants’ levels can be taken into account. The main objective is to learn to dive, float and glide. This group is a great stepping stone to actual swimming lessons and an opportunity to continue the child’s and parent’s shared pastime after the Water termites group.
Kids` swim (Tenavauinti)
The group is aimed at children aged 5-6 and their parents. The group teaches water skills and the basics of swimming. The swimming group progresses through play, and it is a joint activity between a child and an adult, where the adult learns to guide and assist the child in learning to swim. From this group, it is easy to move on to the actual swimming lessons.
Family swim (Perheuinti)
A child weighing at least 5 kg and aged from 3 to 10 months can come swimming together with a sibling aged under 6. Separate activities will be organised for both children.
