• Testing

  This test will be held on the final lesson day every two months in order to evaluate the children's lesson progress. The children who pass the test will be awarded a completion certificate. Evaluation is not based on speed, but on the swimming movement and form. Children progress very differently depending on the age and physical size, so please do not be too worried about the result. Practicing while having fun is essential to improving children's swimming skills.

• Lessons with the HELPER

  The HELPER is a buoyancy aid made from foamed polyethylene, and is attached to the student's back. Keeping the correct posture is very important when learning to swim, but at the same time, it is very difficult for beginners. By adding buoyancy where needed, the HELPER enables them to practice without unwanted stress. Students will build enough swimming strength to maintain a proper posture by the time the HELPER becomes unnecessary.
