Swimming

 

Young children love to be in or near to water so learning to swim is essential. It's also an excellent way to build their self-confidence. 
Knowing how to swim, is first of all loving water and really be at ease in it. This is our primary goal. 
Since 40 years, the team of teachers at the Thônex Swimming School teaches to the young and older, the PLEASURE and FUN they can experience in the water.

tests

In the survey carried out in May 2010, many parents wished to have their children to be evaluated. In response to this request, my team of instructors and I have actively worked on developing two internal assessment log books for the Thônex Swimming School.

These booklets contain 3 tests each. Each assessment consists of between 7 and 10 specific points that the child must be able to carry out with ease. The instructors will continually assess the pupil's progress, and when all the points in the test have been completed, the pupil will receive a sticker to stick in their log book.

Estimated time to achieve 3 stickers: 1 to 1 and a half years.

The challenge in running this programme is to follow each child's progress as closely as possible and help them developing their swimming skills while allowing them to go at their own pace.

The total amount including the pupil's assessment throughout the programme, the test log book and the 3 stickers is Fr. 15,-- per child.

 

 

First log book: Crab, Fish and Shark tests 

Second log book: Gold fish, Tigerfish and Butterflyfish tests.
