A new approach to teaching children to swim! With our specially designed packages, you can offer effective, yet gentle, learning. In pleasant pools, in small groups and with a coach present in the water alongside the children, everything is done to facilitate ease in the water and progress.

Auto-Rescue® is the first step in learning to swim. This anti-drowning program has been designed to teach your child survival reflexes in the event of a fall into the water, as well as the basics of swimming. The learning techniques are designed to be fun and stress-free for your child.

In the event of a fall into the water, a child cannot raise his or her head to breathe naturally. The coaches are carefully selected and trained in the Auto-Rescue® program. They'll teach your child how to float and breathe at any depth, for any length of time, and how to move from prone to supine position: gestures that could save his or her life!

And for children aged 5 and over, Swim Stars lessons are a continuation of Auto-Rescue®. After learning how to save himself, your child acquires the fundamentals of swimming and ease in the aquatic environment: breathing, balance and movement.
