Sakura Montessori has been working in collaboration with Aqua-Tots Swim School \u2013 a pioneer in the swim training industry and an active member of the United States Swim School Association (USSSA) \u2013 to integrate a swimming program into its curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following its core motto, which is \u201cSafety first, fun every second\u201d, the Aqua-Tots lessons always highlight water safety and each child\u2019s self-reliance so that they are able to overcome their fear while in any body of water. The connection between the learner and the playful setting also acts as a vital role in stimulating the motor abilities and ingraining enthusiasm for swimming in young children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For young children, the Aqua-Tots lessons offer them joyful motor activities with their teachers and peers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The focal point of the Aqua-Tots Program is the systematically-planned lessons, which are structured in alignment with skills and levels from elementary to advanced depending on each child\u2019s ability. The Aqua-Tots Program, therefore, is highly appreciated for its suitability to children\u2019s natural developmental pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, the Program emphasizes the COMFORTABILITY of children aged 34 months to 4 years old. The basic swim skills help them feel more confident when diving into the water. Children older than 4 years old will learn more advanced swim techniques such as free swimming, backstroke, and breath control so that they can harness control of their\u00a0 skills and smoothly move in the water. For those already possessing swimming abilities, the Program will aid them to continue practicing their skills and enhancing their TECHNIQUES, STAMINA, SELF-RELIANCE, and SPEED.<\/span><\/p>\n

With its logical age-based curriculum, the Aqua-Tots Program not only reinforces the children\u2019s swimming skills but also promotes other abilities, namely rhythm perception, flexibility, thinking skills, self-expression, and deciding to act. \u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
