SwimSafer™ is a national water safety programme introduced by the National Water Safety Council (NWSC) in July 2010. NWSC is a council appointed by the then Ministry of Community, Youth and Sports (MCYS) to promote water safety for children in Singapore.
The SwimSafer™ programme consists of six progressive stages, comprising 12 hours of lesson time each. Key swimming techniques and domains that will be taught during the programme are:
1. Entries and exits
2. Sculling and body orientation
3. Underwater skills
4. Movement, swimming and strokes
5. Survival and activity skills
6. Rescue skills
7. Swimming knowledge
Every child is born a natural swimmer and often without fear of water, like a “fish in water”. Learning how to swim not just keep your little ones safe, it also strengthens them both physically and mentally.
During the lesson, parents are encouraged to participate together as it is an excellent opportunity for you to bond and observe your child develop their love of floating in a weightless, calm and safe environment.
When you introduced your child to activities like swimming at an early age, it helps your little one to eliminate any possible fear of water, instil confidence and develop a sense of independence in them.
Coach Kidd has been coaching swimming classes since 2005. Smile Swimmers is built on his strong passion for swimming and hoping to impart his knowledge about the sports to children of all ages.
