-
getting comfortable
Getting Comfortable is all about learning swimming foundations, like how to breathe around water and how to submerge without getting water up the nose. With the swimmer’s confidence from their progressed submersions and trust in their Instructor, the swimmer progresses to floating for up to 3 seconds to and from different parts of the pool.
-
by myself
By Myself takes the skills learned in Getting Comfortable and challenges swimmers further with a focus on Deep Diving 3 feet to the bottom of the pool. Deep Diving teaches the swimmer to remain calm in all the other independent skills taught in this level like pop-ups, standing jumps, assisted deep dives, kick & pulls, and turnarounds.
-
confident
Our Confident level builds on the foundations that were built in the Getting Comfortable and By Myself levels. The swimmer is meant to swim for longer distances without ever relying on the floor to breathe. They are trained to problem solve when and how to swim to Points of Safety in the pool, creating purpose in their movements. They are challenged further by introducing skills like flips onto the back, glides, kicks, independent deep dives, and the clothed swim challenge.
Special Abilities
At K&K, we are committed to providing a positive and supportive environment for swimmers of all abilities.
In Alberta and Saskatchewan, we offer one-on-one private lessons, allowing instructors to tailor the experience to each swimmer’s unique needs. After registering, you'll receive a Swimmer History form in your enrollment email, where you can share any relevant details. This information will be communicated to your instructor before your first lesson.
In Quebec, our small group lessons (4:1 ratio) are designed to be inclusive, with personalized attention in a supportive setting. For swimmers who may thrive in a smaller group or one-on-one setting, we have an Interest form available for families at our Mercier location. This helps us explore private or semi-private lesson options based on demand.
All of our instructors are trained to communicate effectively, with care and patience, to create a welcoming space for every swimmer.
