The swimming school is designed for children who have not yet had the opportunity to learn the 3 strokes (backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle). For children aged 4 and above, we offer classes twice a week for an initial introductory phase.
The ultimate goal of this year is to acquire the fundamentals of all 3 strokes, needed for optimal further development. In order to provide the best possible teaching, groups are limited to 16 swimmers.
The fundamental skills are assessed in the third term through an aquatic circuit: the Pass’Poséidon. Successfully passing this test gives the swimmer the opportunity to continue their learning in the EP1, EP2 and EP3 groups of the Enfants de Poséidon, our school for mastering all four strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle).
