Swimming lessons for children

Swimming lessons for children in Săliștea de Sus

From age 4, in groups of at most 6 children, with a physical-education and sports teacher, at the indoor pool on the Iza valley. Lessons from June to October, twice a week.

Children's lessons start at age 4 and are split by level: water confidence and beginners for those who have not been in the water yet, then technique for those who float and swim a few metres. Each group has at most 6 children, and the coach is in the water or at the edge, depending on the stage.

A lesson lasts 60 minutes and always has the same structure: 10 minutes of dry-land warm-up, then 50 minutes in the water, with breathing and floating exercises, work on one new element and a game at the end. Children come twice a week; those from farther away can do a double lesson on Saturday.

We do not train champions and we do not run competitions. We prepare children who feel safe in any water, from the pool to the river at home.

  • From age 4
  • At most 6 children per group
  • Two lessons a week
  • A sports teacher, not an assistant instructor

How we teach

Safety first, then technique

We work progressively: first the water becomes a safe place, then come breathing, floating and gliding, and only at the end the strokes. Each child advances at their own pace, and parents hear at every stage what has been learned.

  • Water confidence first, without forcing and without deep water at the start
  • Breathing and floating before any arm movement
  • Groups of at most 6 children, by age and level
  • The same coach at every lesson, not an assistant instructor

The first lesson

How the first visit to the pool goes

We know the first step can be emotional, for the child and the parent. Here is how simple it is.

Message us on WhatsApp

We propose a group suited to the age and level, at a time that works with school and the drive.

Arrive 10 minutes early

So there is time for the changing room, the shower and a few minutes to get used to the place.

Swimming kit

Swimsuit, cap, goggles, towel and slippers. If something is missing at the first lesson, we manage.

Tell us about the child

Any fear, condition or previous experience helps us adapt the lesson. Nobody is pushed into deep water.

The first lesson is about getting comfortable: the child meets the coach, the pool and the water, at their own pace.

The kit

What the child brings to the lesson

Five things to put in the bag before every lesson. The rest of the kit is at the pool.

Kickboards, goggles and a swim cap at the poolside: a child's kit for the swimming lesson
  • SwimsuitSwimming trunks or a one-piece swimsuit, not beach shorts.
  • Swim capCompulsory in the pool. Silicone for older children, fabric for the little ones if they cannot stand silicone.
  • GogglesChildren's size, with an adjustable strap. Without goggles a child keeps the eyes shut under water and learns slower.
  • Towel or bathrobeA large towel or a bathrobe for after the shower, especially when it is cooler outside.
  • Pool slippersCompulsory on the poolside and in the changing room.
  • Kickboards are oursKickboards, noodles and the rest of the teaching kit belong to the school. Nothing to buy.

If something is missing at the first lesson, we manage. What matters is that the child comes.

The first lesson matters most. Let's get it right.

Tell us the child's age and what they can already do in the water, and we propose a group. The first lesson is about getting comfortable, no pressure.
