Swim Easy Accra Levels and Skills Development Stages

Hello Parents, you’re welcome to Swim Easy Accra.Thank you for joining the big splash family. Since the inception of our Swimming Lessons in 2017 we have taught more than 1000 kids to swim well from ages 1 year and beyond. Over the years with our team of instructors and for standardized lessons delivery have developed our own Swimming levels and skills development that is best suited for a fast progression of our little learners from first level to ultimate level.

There are 7 levels or stages from a total beginner stage to master of strokes and competitive level swimmers. The levels have an average age range for starters and prerequisite for entry into another. Also some levels require completion and passing a level before admission to the next.To encourage our little ones there will be awarding of medals and certificates to mark their new levels and achievements. Also there will be a grand finale swimming championship competition at the end of every year to our swimmers from level 2 to level 5 to obtain Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals These medals and certificates will be provided at a very affordable rate for parents to buy upon awards.

We advise that kids be encouraged to be consistent and parents should exercise patience and not compare one kid to another since they all have different learning capabilities but surely will meet the aim to be self confident and have these life and survival skills well developed. We trust these stages will best suit your ward(s) either privately or group or joining the swim club.

Thank you and have a wonderful experience with your kid(s).
