When Will My Child Move from Paddlers to Strokes 1? A common query is for parents to wonder when their child will move up from Paddlers to Strokes 1 level. This post will explain the stages of development at this level, what children are working towards, and how long it may typically take.

We came to learn to swim. We stayed for the friends.

At Alison Tam Swimming, our adult classes are more than just lessons. They're a place where beginners become friends, where no experience is needed, and where every splash is a shared win.

Help Your Child Swim Better, Stronger, and Further

Can your child already swim but need help improving their technique?

Our kids swimming programme is ideal for swimmers who are ready to build stronger strokes, improve breathing, develop stamina, and become more confident in the water.

We offer ability-based classes for children at different levels, from those learning proper front crawl and backstroke to swimmers working on breaststroke, all four strokes, and longer distances.

Classes are available across several locations, including public venues such as Island School, West Island School, and Kennedy Town, as well as selected members-only and residents-only venues. Please check the location details before booking to make sure the location is suitable for you.

If your child can swim but feels tired quickly, struggles with side breathing, or needs more structure to improve their strokes, our courses can help them swim more smoothly and efficiently.
