Children’s swimming lessons: the APPRENTISSAGE course

 

BECOMING SELF-SUFFICIENT – LESSONS FROM AGE 5 #

__

The Learn-to-Swim course is a continuation ofAUTO-RESCUE®. After learning to save himself, your child learns to swim and acquires the fundamentals: breathing, balance and movement.

 

TAKING APPRENTICESHIP COURSES IS IMPORTANT

Drowning is the 2nd leading cause of death among children aged 0-14, most of them in private pools. So it’s vital to learn water survival reflexes from an early age.

With the Learn-to-Swim course, your child will have fun without any stress. We target each individual’s qualities to reinforce their ability to acquire knowledge, with the aim of overcoming fears and building self-confidence.

In the event of a fall into the water, a child can’t raise his head to breathe naturally. And our carefully selected, Apprentice-trained coaches will teach your child to float and breathe at any depth, indefinitely. He’ll learn how to move from a prone to a supine position: gestures that can save his life.
