AquaSquirts
A play-based, shallow-end class focusing on water orientation. Swimmers develop foundational skills with coaches in the water. Maximum four athletes per coach. Classes consist of 30 minutes on land and 30 minutes in the water.
AquaSquirts has been declared suitable for children with special needs and/or children with disabilities. The lesson plans are flexible and allow for modification based on the individual skill level. The use of flotation devices (such as pool noodles, kick boards and PFDs) can be incorporated into the lessons in order to provide swimmers with a certain comfort level in the water. Water acts as a natural cushion for our bodies providing less strain on limbs and joints. It is well documented that children who participate in water activities can expect to see improved flexibility, coordination, cardiovascular and circulation benefits and more!
