SwimSafer Silver

SwimSafer Silver introduces to the fundamentals of diving. Development of personal survival knowledge will continue with the injection of situational context, such as swimming quickly away from a sinking boat, or swimming through a narrow passage underwater simulated by hoops.

Emphasis will be placed on with advanced swimming strokes and survival skills. Timing laps are also introduced in this stage to evaluate the efficiency of each stroke. This professional Kids Swimming Lessons is designed to develop speed and improve stamina, where kids will be required demonstrate efficient stroke techniques by swimming a variety of strokes over 200 meters within a given time frame for each stroke.
