We enthusiastically offer ABC swimming lessons for children.
The Swimming ABC is a carefully structured program where children learn to swim step by step. During our lessons, children learn to feel comfortable in the water and develop various skills such as floating, gliding, and sinking.
Our experienced swimming instructors also guide children in going underwater, orienting themselves underwater, rotating along the length and width axis, survival techniques, treading water, and different swimming strokes such as breaststroke, backstroke, front crawl, and back crawl. Each diploma represents the mastery of a specific skill and ensures that a child can swim safely. Therefore, we recommend completing the entire Swimming ABC program.
Swimming Lessons Six Days a Week
At Special Sports, we aim to offer swimming lessons six days a week starting from the beginning of the new school year. Lessons are available on weekday afternoons between 3:30 PM and 6:30 PM, and on Saturday mornings between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM. When a child starts swimming lessons, they begin with the Waterfestijn lessons. These lessons are in smaller groups of up to 4 children, focusing on water acclimatization. You can choose a weekly lesson of 45 minutes and/or a private lesson of 30 minutes. Additionally, during the summer holidays, we offer turbo lessons, which are intensive crash courses for children with some swimming experience who aim to quickly obtain their A diploma.
*Our regular ABC swimming lessons will commence from September 2. The lessons during weekdays are scheduled between 3:30 PM and 6:30 PM, and on Saturdays between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM. The exact schedule will depend on the number of enrollments. You can indicate your preference for the available days and times (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) on the registration form. We aim to personally call each parent to discuss and coordinate the best possible schedule.
*If you wish to cancel your child’s swimming lesson, you can easily do so through our learner tracking system, Zwemscore. Log in with your account details and select the lesson you want to cancel. We understand that it is sometimes not possible to attend a lesson. Unfortunately, missed lessons cannot be rescheduled, as our lessons are structured with attention to progress and group interaction. We appreciate your understanding and are always ready to help if you have any questions.
Waiting List for Young Children
Children can start our swimming lessons from the age of 5. However, they can be placed on the waiting list before they reach this age. This ensures that children have sufficient physical and cognitive development to safely follow our deep-water program. By placing them on the waiting list early, we accommodate enthusiastic learners while always prioritizing safety and suitability for the lessons.
