How Can We Help?
How long will it take for my child to learn to swim and learn the ISA Key Sequences?
In terms of water safety levels, once your child has completed the Beginner and Intermediate Programmes, they will be at a level where they can be independent in the water without guidance from an instructor, with the ability to control their own breathing and rest.
How quickly your child moves through the levels depends on your child’s developmental age and abilities. Each individual will progress at their own pace.
See the information below for an overview of the estimated learning time.
ISA Key Sequence 1 "Rollback-and-float"
Beginner Level "Float like a Starfish"
ISA Key Sequence 2 "Kick-Float-Kick" (Guided)
Intermediate Level 01 "Swim like a Dolphin"
ISA Key Sequence 3 "Kick-Float-Kick" (Independent)
Intermediate Level 02 "Swim like a Shark"
*Please note: this is an approximation based on regular attendance of one short 10-minute lesson per week, depending on the child’s developmental age, abilities and their consistency in attendance. You can tailor your child’s lesson length following a 10-minute slot increment charge; e.g. 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes etc. In a 20 or 30 minute 1:1 ISA lesson, there is more time for building up a relationship with the instructor, play and accelerated learning.
