Services

Our services are numerous and includes aspects where we not only help children learn how to swim but much more. We use scientific findings and practical experience to teach as well as muscle memory to form neural pathways in the brain to help store certain muscle movements within the memory. By knowing the baby’s temperamental category we choose an instructional approach that compliments the baby’s personality. Recognising the baby’s reflexes we can stimulate and strengthen them to help practise movements for learning to swim. By knowing the baby’s learning stages through cognitive development and right and left brain functions, we choose the instruction method most effective for every stage and teach the correct skill at the appropriate age.  We also present hydrotherapy in cooperation with physiotherapists and occupational therapists. A private practice for reflex integration, aqua sensory and physical therapy, swimming lessons, baby watersafety, aqua aerobics, hydrotherapy, sports injuries and rehabilitation.
