Learn to Swim for Fun!
We believe that the most important thing in education is to nurture children's "ability to think for themselves" and "ability to act independently"!
We aim to be swimming lessons where the coaches do not give one-way guidance, but where everyone can find issues that need to be improved through questions and dialogue.
Our Swimming Lessons
Characteristics
1. Small group lessons
Each child has different strengths and weaknesses. Small-group lessons prevent them from being left behind. It also allows for more challenges and faster progress. Swimming coaches don’t teach one-sidedly. Swimming instruction is provided in a flexible manner according to the task to be overcome, the situation, goals and motivation.
2. Build a healthy, robust body
'Relaxation' and 'concentration' are necessary skills for all sports (exercise), from running and gymnastics to baseball and football. In our swimming lessons, the basic swimming skill is relaxation. This is because it is difficult for the body to float in the water and force is not transmitted to the water properly when the body isn't relaxed.
Swimming is also a popular and recommended lesson as it is a full-body exercise, stimulating fine muscles that are not normally used and greatly developing cardiopulmonary functions.
3. Foster the ability to think
We try to create an environment where children feel comfortable asking questions. We will do our best to help them think together about what they don't understand and foster their ability to live.
Swimming instructors are not only accomplished swimmers and skilled instructors, but also good communicators, so they can motivate your child to swim by facing them on a one-to-one basis.

Key Learning Goals in Baby Swimming Lessons
1. Water Familiarity and Comfort
Introduce babies to the water through gentle activities like splashing, singing, and playing with toys.
Help infants become comfortable with water on their face and ears, laying the groundwork for future skills.
2. Basic Safety and Survival Skills
Teach breath control by encouraging bubble blowing and brief submersions.
Introduce floating techniques, such as back floating with support, to promote water safety.
For older infants, practice movements like turning to reach the pool edge or floating independently.
3. Parental Engagement and Bonding
Strengthen the parent-child relationship through shared water activities.
Educate parents on safely supporting and guiding their child in the water.
4. Physical and Cognitive Development
Enhance motor skills, coordination, and muscle strength through water movement.
Stimulate cognitive growth by introducing new sensory experiences and challenges.
5. Preparation for Future Swim Instruction
Lay the foundation for independent swimming by developing comfort and basic skills in the water.
Encourage listening and following simple instructions to ease the transition into formal swim lessons.

Important notes
1. Weather Notice
▶︎ In case of thunder or lightning, all students and staff must evacuate the pool and surrounding areas and move to the shaded shelter adjacent to the changing rooms.
▶︎ After evacuation, it is necessary to wait for 40 minutes after the last thunder is heard (for safety).
▶︎ If the thunder persists during the waiting period, lessons may be canceled depending on the coach's schedule.
▶︎ Monthly members: Lesson make-up or a one-lesson deduction from the monthly fee
▶︎ Per-lesson and private lesson students: No cancellation fee will be charged. Please reschedule your lesson.
▶︎ If there is a thunderstorm before the lesson and you have already arrived at the pool, the lesson will resume after waiting for 40 minutes. However, if the resumption time is after 5:30 PM, the lesson may be canceled at the coach's discretion.
▶︎ If attending the lesson after the waiting period is difficult, you may cancel.
▶︎ If you hear thunder before leaving home and are unsure if the lesson will continue, please contact your coach.
2. Facility usage precautions
▶︎ As per the request from the U.S. Embassy EWA, non-EWA members are kindly asked to refrain from using the "Game Room" before, after, or during lessons.
▶︎ In summer the poolside area is humid, and mosquitoes are present. When observing lessons, please use the provided mosquito repellent spray or wear clothing that covers your skin.
3. Pool Entry Rules
▶︎ Do not enter the pool until it is your class time. Let's create an environment where other students can concentrate during their practice.
▶︎ Leave the pool after your lesson is over (unless you have special permission from the instructor).
4. Increasing capacity by adding coaches
▶︎ Normally, group lessons are limited to a maximum of four people, but on days when a sub-instructor is assisting, the class capacity will be limited to a maximum of six people.
▶︎ We are experiencing a high volume of requests for lessons, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused if you are unable to make a reservation on your desired date. However, we hope that by adding more coaches, we can alleviate this situation at least a little.
