Keep training your swimming skills

Swimming skills lessons are for swimmers who want to maintain and increase their swimming skills after obtaining the ABC process. Does your child appear to be a water rat? And does it want to get more diplomas? Then keep training your swimming skills during our swimming lessons!

The following parts are discussed in swimming skills:

  • Saving swimming alone and in pairs (saving someone in different ways in different situations);
  • Survival swimming (in different situations to save yourself in the water);
  • Snorkeling (always handy for vacation, learn how to clear and much more);
  • Ball skills (learn the basic forms of water polo);
  • Improving and increasing the techniques and endurance: breast crawl/back crawl/breaststroke.

The lessons are of course given in our own style and with the aim of having everyone come to the lessons with pleasure and to have their swimming skills increased.

Why keep training?

 After obtaining your ABC diploma, you are ready to take your swimming skills to a higher level. By continuing to invest in swimming skills training, children become even more comfortable in the water. They are going to like the water more and more and know better advice in potentially dangerous situations. 

In the lessons, the focus is on improving your technology, endurance and self -confidence in the water. The swimming skills training of Van der Wal Sports and Swimming Academy are structured in such a way that children learn to deal with all kinds of water activities in a playful way. 

Swimming in open water? It is possible after our swimming skills training

How nice is this? Bobby does swimming skills training with us, and his father JP participates in swimming lessons for adults. And now they have swam together for charity! View this fun YouTube short for the proof!

Water polo training

One of our best activities is water polo, the perfect combination of swimming and ball sport! But we also have other nice swimming skills lessons such as saving swimming and snorkeling. What your child also chooses, you know for sure that they have a lot of fun with us and that they will feel very safe in water.

What do you learn during swimming skills?

One of the most important aspects of swimming skills lessons is to refine your swimming technique. After obtaining your ABC diploma you control the basic skills, such as floating, swimming under water and different types of swimming strokes. With swimming skills lessons you take these skills to a higher level by perfecting them and learning new strokes, such as the butterfly stroke. 

In addition to improving your technology, swimming and training courses are also used to increase your stamina. You will notice that the distances you travel during the lessons will gradually increase, so that your fitness gradually gets better.

In addition to perfecting technology, self -confidence is an important part of swimming skills lessons. By improving your technique and gaining more experience in the water, you will notice that your self -confidence is growing. The self -esteem and the ability to take on challenges will increase as you become more familiar with the water.

Frequently asked questions about swimming skills

Usually you can start once you have completed the basic swimming ABC (or a comparable level), so that the participant is already familiar with the water and can swim safely.

When it comes to swimming skills, the focus isn't just on learning to swim safely, but on further developing technique, longer distances, and self-reliance in water with more challenges.

This depends on the program/swimming school, the participant's level, and the lesson frequency. Sometimes once a week is sufficient, in other cases several times.

Standard swimwear is often recommended, and for some events (such as clothing-based swimming) special clothing or shoes may be required.

Improved technique, more confidence in the water, better prepared for swimming in other environments (such as open water) and more enjoyment of swimming.
