Your actual cost varies several factors:

Booking a bundle of lessons often reduces the per-hour cost.

Learn-to-swim programs divide instruction into stages, each targeting specific skills.

• Preschool levels: Kids build confidence through supported floats, wall holds, and playful water exploration.
• Beginner levels: Students practise front crawl, back crawl, and treading water for short distances.
• Intermediate levels: Swimmers refine stroke technique, learn breaststroke and elementary backstroke, and build endurance.
• 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.

Mastering these four strokes gives swimmers versatility and a complete skill set.

• Freestyle: This stroke emphasizes streamlined body position, rhythmic breathing, and continuous propulsion.
• Back crawl: Performed face-up with alternating arms and a flutter kick, ideal for breathing easily.
• Breaststroke: A slower, symmetrical stroke where both arms pull together and legs perform a frog kick.
• Butterfly: The most demanding stroke, using a dolphin kick and simultaneous overhead arm recovery.

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