FAQ

1.Pre-Squad Swimming Lessons

Pre-Squad Swimming Lessons focus on pushing the physical and mental limit of each swimmer/trainee in every session. This is done through either increasing the speed per lap, or increasing their swimming endurance.

Our specialized training aims to value add our swimmers, whom have graduated from our learn-to-swim programme, by furthering these physical aspects. This is done through specific verbal and visual guidance by our experienced teachers to further develop stroke corrections and refining swim techniques.

Objectives Of Pre-Squad Swimming Lessons
Stroke Correction
Improve Swimming Technique
Strength & Fitness

All pre-squad classes include water safety, survival & rescue skills. A sound knowledge and understanding of safety and survival skills is continually reinforced during the swimming sessions. Students then graduate to a swimming club if they desire to continue swimming at a higher level.

Our pre-squad swim programme will run on Tuesday and Friday evenings and are only available to children who are in Children Advanced and aged between 6 to 12 years old. The focus of the Pre-Squad class is on streamlining, improvement of stroke technique and stamina building.

We encourage exploration and experimenting throughout the session. Basic instructions are given in a whole skill method, from there we respect and recognize the understanding and execution ability of the skill. LSA swim teacher will then give feedback and correct techniques or skills in detailed respectively.

With this technique, we work on their cognitive and language development. This enable the child to listen, understand, reflect and execute the skill or activity that is just told by our swim teacher.

Our program is planned progressively according to their learning ability. LSA swim teacher will constantly carefully assess the execution of the skill taught weekly. This will enable them to move from weekly performance to a learnt skill with constant encouragement and motivation and positive feedback. From here, we are addressing their motor, physical and emotional development.

Using songs and communication will help strengthens the synaptic connection in the frontal lobes, the part that is responsible for memory. Communicating will help not only aid in developing language skills, it also builds auditory skills.

In toddler age, they are able to move and control their movements better on land. Every though she has can be executed into movement which strengthens the associated neuronal connections.

At the age of 2, they will learn more sophisticated thoughts, feelings and ideas that are beyond their ability to communicate them to others.

It is tailored to promote cognitive, language, physical, emotional, and social developmental milestone achievements, while allowing a flexible and adaptable lesson plan to suit the interest of our special swimmers. This includes incorporating a Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) to encourage neural stimulation and linkage between visual, verbal cues to physical actions with using learning aids such as pictures and symbols.
To name a few, they will also learn foundational activities such as blowing bubbles, moving through the water, and learning how to stay afloat. These can help with their oral articulation, coordination, and spatial awareness to achieve a physical goal whilst dealing with potential emotional stress.
