What sort of skills will a child learn in AquaSquirts?
Through a play-based approach, children are given opportunities to improve breath control, floating skills, body awareness and methods of propulsion – skills that are the foundation for every swimming skill that a child will ever learn. Specific skills such as sculling, and eggbeater are also introduced in AquaSquirts. There is also a focus on partner and group activities and, as a result, swimmers receive the dual benefit of increased confidence in the water and increased awareness of others – important for aquatic safety.
