QUALITY OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION

WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT SWIMMING LESSONS AT DOVERCOURT?

The Dovercourt swimming program is based on the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life® model – a comprehensive approach that focuses on three fundamental strokes. Learning Swim to Survive® and achieving the Lifesaving Society’s Swim to Survive® Standard are key foundations of the Swim for Life® program. While Swim for Life® forms the foundation of our swimming program, it is our highly-skilled instructors who ultimately make it the success that it is. Dovercourt

swim staff undergo regular, extensive training on safety, current standards and teaching techniques. Sessions conclude with detailed skills progression report cards filled out by the instructors. In addition to their consummate level of instruction, our staff also put a strong emphasis on fun, patience and kindness. Allaying fears and instilling confidence in budding swimmers is a top priority. Read more on our website: www.dovercourt.org/enterprise/ OurPool_Whats-different
