Learning to Swim at Horizons

Swimming is a key component of the Horizons student experience. Becoming a competent swimmer builds confidence and a desire to achieve. Most of our students come to Horizons with minimal to no experience in the water. Overcoming this fear and learning to trust qualified instructors build their self-esteem and encourages risk-taking in the classroom. Students quickly discover “If I can learn to swim, I can learn anything!”

Learning to swim:

• Encourages attention to detail and commitment to a goal
• Teaches resilience and strategies to overcome fears and obstacles
• Inspires children to adopt a healthy lifestyle
• Introduces a competitive sport
• Teaches skills for summer employment
• Is FUN! Promoting a love for and engagement in Horizons
