> POOL CLASSES

Parents may choose from INDIVIDUAL, SMALL GROUP, or SATURDAY GROUP sessions for their children. Individual and small group sessions may be arranged on weekday mornings and afternoons. Classes are available for all levels from beginners to advanced.

Please call David at 9101 4211 or e-mail coach@yellowfish.com.sg for all class placement and fees enqiries.

All parents are required to sign an indemnity form on behalf of their children before the start of their first session.


> BEGINNERS

The most important factor in a child's ability to learn to swim is the way he feels about the water. We make swimming fun and build water confidence through drills and lots of games! If your child learns to enjoy the water, swimming skills will follow naturally.

Primary elements of swimming that will be covered include breathing techniques, bobbing, kicking, arm movements, submersion, floating and gliding. Water safety skills will also be part of these sessions. Classes at this level teach the basics of breaststroke and frontcrawl.


> INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED

For children who are comfortable in the water, and familiar with the basics. These classes develop breaststroke, front crawl, backstroke and butterfly stroke techniques, and build stamina for longer distance swimming.


> 'SWIM SAFER' PREPARATION

SwimSafer is a 6-stage amalgamated and improved version of the Learn-To-Swim Programme (LTSP) and the National Survival Swimming Award (NASSA), and is currently the only national water safety programme.

More information on the programme may be found at www.ssc.gov.sg/swimsafer.

Test-specfic coverage for all levels is covered in all classes.
