Swim School
The NORAC Swim School is a Learn to Swim 12 week sessional program for ages 6 & up. Learning is adapted to the needs of each child. The swimmer will develop general aquatic skills such as kicking and arm movement, proper stroke technique and feeling comfortable in the pool.
The Beginner/Double Lane program is a 45 minute lesson for ages 6 & up who are comfortable in deep water. Swimmers will learn proper stroke technique beginning with Frontcrawl and Backstroke and progressing to Breaststroke and Butterfly.
The Advanced program is for swimmers 8 and older who are able to 25m unassisted and have the basic ability to perform all 4 strokes. Here we will work on perfecting each of the strokes and building endurance.
Our Intro to Competitive program is for swimmers 8 and older who need more of a challenge and have passed through our swim school program or have been selected by the Head Coach. They will learn to swim more challenging sets, proper dives and turns, learn to read the clock and use pace times. This is a pathway to our competitive stream at NORAC
