ADULT CLASS

TAKE THE PLUNGE
WITH A SPLASH OF
ENCOURAGEMENT

Swimming classes can offer numerous benefits for adults, including:

  • Improved physical health: Swimming is an excellent form of low-impact exercise that can help adults build endurance, strength, and flexibility, as well as improve cardiovascular health.
  • Reduced stress: Swimming can have a calming effect on the mind and body, which can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
  • Joint pain relief: Swimming can be an excellent option for adults with joint pain or other physical limitations, as the buoyancy of the water can reduce pressure on joints.
  • Social connections: Swimming classes can provide an opportunity for adults to meet new people and make social connections, which can be especially valuable for those who may be feeling isolated or looking to expand their social network.
  • Lifesaving skills: Learning to swim can be a lifesaving skill that can help adults stay safe in and around water, whether they are swimming recreationally or in emergency situations.
  • Improved mental health: Swimming has been shown to have a positive impact on mental health, including reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Overall, swimming classes can offer adults a fun and rewarding way to improve their physical and mental health, gain confidence and social connections, and acquire valuable lifesaving skills.

What will I learn in adult class?

At Sailfish Swim Academy, we focus on ensuring students feel comfortable and confident in water right from the start through fundamental skills.

1. We teach water entry by jumping into the pool safely
2. Gradually, students progress to gliding in from a sitting position at the poolside at counts of 3, 5, and 7, which helps them to develop buoyancy.

Once they are comfortable with water entry, we move on to teach:

1. Students to independently hold Starfish Float for 5 counts
2. Students to independently hold Mushroom Float for 10 counts
3. Students to independently backfloat for 10 counts
4. Master rocket to back float technique

These are fundamental skills that every swimmer should master in order to progress to more advanced techniques, and we help students to learn these techniques step-by-step. By practising these techniques, students can build their confidence and develop a strong foundation for more advanced swimming skills.

At Sailfish Swim Academy, we teach basic freestyle

1. By first focusing on proper body position and kicking technique with a rocket kick for 10 counts.
2. Then, we teach the 4 hand pulls of the freestyle stroke and incorporate sidekicks to help develop the full stroke.

Once students are comfortable with these techniques, our goal is to have our students complete 2 laps of basic freestyle.

For advanced freestyle,

1. We build upon the basics by teaching alternate arm strokes for 10 meters, focusing on side-to-side rotation for better efficiency and speed.
2. We then teach the freestyle catch technique, where the hand enters the water and pulls back in a scooping motion to generate more power.
3. Finally, we emphasize the freestyle glide for 10 meters to help our students maintain momentum and speed.

These techniques will help students swim faster and with greater efficiency in the water.

For basic backstroke,

1. We start teaching the basic backstroke by emphasizing proper body positioning – ears fully submerged with their chip up, tummy up, back straight, and toes pointed.
2. We instruct our students to breathe every 5 counts while performing hand pulls with their shoulders touching their ears.

Our experienced coaches will guide the students through each step, ensuring they are comfortable with the basics before progressing to advanced backstroke techniques.

For advanced backstroke,

1. We teach students the S-hand pull and rotation techniques to maximize swimming efficiency.
2. We introduce alternate hand pulls to further improve form and speed.
At Sailfish Swim Academy, we teach the breaststroke technique in a progressive manner, starting with the basics and moving towards advanced techniques.

For basic breaststroke,

1. We emphasize proper technique for the breaststroke kick, including the W-shape bent, kick, close and glide, followed by breaststroke pull with correct hand timing.
2. We also focus on developing good arm and leg coordination, to ensure proper execution of the stroke.

As students progress to advanced breaststroke,

1. We teach them to incorporate a full glide after every kick, with their body in an up high position while breathing.
2. Additionally, we work towards students being able to glide every stroke for 4 laps, which requires a high level of stamina, endurance, and mastery of the breaststroke technique.

Our experienced coaches provide personalized attention and feedback to help students improve their technique and achieve their goals.
At Sailfish Swim Academy, we teach butterfly stroke in a step-by-step manner to ensure that students can master the basics before advancing to more complex techniques.

For basic butterfly,

1. We begin with the caterpillar exercise, which involves emulating a wave-like motion with the body five times.
2. Next is the cocoon exercise, where the hands are brought forward and the chest is pushed downwards to emulate a wave-like motion. Once the basic techniques are mastered,
3. We teach the butterfly stroke with proper hand pulls.

For advanced butterfly, we focus on synchronizing the arms and legs to achieve the stroke momentum.

1. Students will be able to swim six laps of butterfly with momentum stroke and alternate their breathing to improve their endurance and technique.

Our experienced coaches are dedicated to ensuring that each student receives personalized attention and guidance throughout the learning process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our swimming classes are cancelled during heavy rain. If your class has been cancelled, we kindly ask that you contact our administration team to arrange a replacement class within 30 days after the date of absence. This will allow you to make up for any missed lessons and ensure that you continue to progress in your swimming journey. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, and please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Swimwear – Choose a comfortable and appropriate swimsuit that fits well and allows freedom of movement. Avoid loose or baggy clothing, which can become heavy and uncomfortable when wet. 

Goggles – Goggles can help your you see underwater and boost your confidence in the water. 

Swim cap – For students with long hair, a swim cap can help keep hair out of your face. However, it is not necessary. 

Kickboard – Kickboard is essential to help you learn the proper kicking techniques and build strength in your legs. 

Towels – Towels to dry off after the lesson. 

Extra clothes – Have a change of clothes ready for after the lesson to ensure you’re comfortable and warm after the lesson.

The expectations to complete all 4 strokes are 2 years. Half a year to complete free style and swim independently. However, this varies highly based on water adaptability, trauma experience, and willingness to socialize with strangers. Remember, learning to swim is a process, and everyone learns at their own pace. Consistent attendance and active engagement in swim lessons lead to progress.
Here are a few tips to help you improve your progress in swimming lessons:
  • Attend consistently: Attending your swimming lessons regularly is key to improving your skills and making progress.
  • Stay engaged in class: Pay attention to your instructor and actively participate in class activities to maximize your learning.
  • Practice outside of class: Practice your swimming skills outside of class time, such as by swimming laps or practicing drills.
  • Focus on technique: Focus on improving your technique and form in each stroke to swim more efficiently and effectively.
  • Set goals: Set specific goals for what you want to achieve in your swimming lessons and work towards them with dedication and effort.
  • Seek feedback: Ask your instructor for feedback and advice on how to improve your swimming technique and overall performance.
By following these tips and consistently working towards improving your skills, you can make progress in your swimming lessons and become a stronger and more confident swimmer.
Absolutely, we understand that sometimes there may be circumstances that require you to freeze your swimming lessons for a month. If you would like to book your slots in advance and pay the fees in advance, we can make the necessary arrangements. However, please keep in mind that if you’re a beginner, missing lessons consistently may have a negative impact on your progress. We highly recommend attending lessons consistently to build muscle memory, endurance, and to develop their skills. We’re happy to discuss any concerns or questions you may have about your progress in swimming and how we can work together to ensure your success.
We’re happy to offer replacements for missed swimming lessons, as long as we’re informed at least 24 hours in advance. Please inform our administration team of any upcoming absences, and replacements will be valid for 30 days before and after the date of absence. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping us informed, as this allows us to make the necessary arrangements to ensure you don’t miss out on your swimming lessons. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns about our replacement policy.
