Our Year 3 and 4 students have been heading off once a week to the Mahurangi College Pool for their swimming lessons with Aqua Kidz swim school. The students have been ability and confidence grouped for instruction at their level, catering from nervous “non-swimmers”, right through to capable swimmers now working on other strokes and dive entries. Aqua Kidz provide specialized equipment for instruction, as well as platforms which ensure every child is at a comfortable level in the water.
It has been amazing to see progress made – even the our most nervous students are now able to put their heads under and most can “survival swim” a small distance. Our middle groups have made steady progress with arm action and breathing when learning freestyle.
