The activity

Swimming, explained

Children's swimming lessons move in small steps. Beginners start with getting comfortable in the water: blowing bubbles, floating on the front and back with support, kicking and getting in and out safely. Once they can float and glide, coaches add arm actions and breathing, usually starting with front crawl and backstroke, then breaststroke and butterfly. Most schools group children by level rather than age and move them up as they pass each stage. Lessons build water safety, stamina and coordination, and many children start group classes from about age 3 or 4, once they are happy to join in without a parent in the pool.

Who it's for

Children and adults at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels in swimming; young players in badminton; beginners' groups plus private and semi-private sessions in tennis; kids' beginner groups in martial arts. Holiday camps have been advertised for children aged 4 to 14 (winter camp page from November 2024; confirm current ages). Age bands for the regular classes are not published, so ask the provider.

What to expect

In swimming, your child is placed on a stage of the academy's star system, starting with water safety and confidence and working towards all four strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. The academy says each session follows a structured curriculum. Its pool page mentions changing rooms, washrooms, a water dispenser and lifeguards on duty. Kit, trial sessions, class sizes and whether a parent can watch are not published, so ask the provider when you get in touch. You can pick your preferred venue (Dubailand, Nad Al Sheba or Al Khawaneej) on the swimming enquiry form.
