Book a swimming instructor in Laval

This rate depends on several factors:

• Skill level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• Your teacher's qualifications and background (certified vs. recreational instructors)

• Lesson format (in-pool, open water, or online drills)

Some teachers provide a free trial lesson so you can assess fit before committing.

Most Canadian swim programs follow a progressive level system that builds skills step by step.

• Parent-and-tot stages: Children learn water comfort, blowing bubbles, floating on their front and back, and basic kicking.
• Foundation stages: Learners work on coordinated arm and leg movements, side breathing, and swimming 10–25 metres.
• Development stages: Lessons focus on smoother kicks, proper hand entry, and swimming 50–100 metres continuously.
• Advanced levels: Advanced swimmers polish all four strokes, work on starts and turns, and prepare for lifeguard certification.

Progression depends on mastering key benchmarks like floating, treading water, and stroke form.

There are four main swimming strokes, each with its own technique and purpose.

• Freestyle: The fastest stroke, using alternating arm pulls and a flutter kick with side breathing.
• Backstroke: This stroke builds core stability and allows unrestricted breathing throughout.
• Breaststroke: This technique focuses on timing, glide efficiency, and coordinated breathing at each stroke.
• Butterfly: This stroke requires strong shoulders, flexible ankles, and excellent core coordination.

Beginners usually start with front crawl and backstroke because they are easier to learn.
