Swimming Lesson in KL, Malaysia
The objective of the Learn to Swim Program is to teach children a wide range of skills resulting in competent, confident and safer swimmers who have a love of swimming and a skill base to develop further abilities in a wide range of water-based activities.
Just as all children do not learn to walk, talk or read at the same pace, nor do they learn to swim at the same rate. At DSA, we do not place any accelerated expectations ahead of the student’s actual readiness to learn. All students learn to kick when they swim – but some do it on the first day, while others do it only after a great deal of time, guided teaching and practice.
Being able to swim on the first day does not make one student better, smarter or stronger than another student who learns at a later stage. Students are not pressured or pushed to perform but guided to develop their skills at a rate they are comfortable with.
