Swimming is both a life-saving skill and one of the healthiest sports, working every muscle group. Starting at the right age with the right method builds lasting confidence in the water.
Goals by age group
- Ages 4-6: water adaptation, breath control, basic submersion confidence
- Ages 7-10: freestyle and backstroke technique, 25 metres of continuous swimming
- Ages 11+: four-stroke technique, endurance and, if desired, race preparation
What to look for in a programme
Small group sizes, level-based grouping and regular progress tracking are the three key criteria. Always ask about pool hygiene and the lifeguard/instructor ratio too.
In the Swimming Programme at our Zekeriyaköy campus, lessons are planned by age and level, with seasonal group lessons and one-to-one options available.
