Private classes can be done at any suitable pool in Hanoi, including the private pool at your residence.

Public swimming lessons will be held in selected pools. Take a look here to find all public swimming classes in Hanoi.

During the first lesson the instructor will do an assessment of the level of every student.

The total Swim England 'Learn to Swim' framework consists of 7 stages, each level takes about  5 to 8  lessons to complete (depending on the students abilities).

At stage 3 and 4 you will see your kids being able to swim short distances. From stage 5 on we will work on perfecting all strokes to the Swim England standards.

Learn more about the Swim England 'Learn to Swim' framework.

Students in the Swim England 'Learn to Swim' stage 4 and 5 are confident and comfortable in and around the water. They will be able to swim all strokes up to 25 metres.

If you really want your child to be competent and proficient in water, and have the ability to survive and self-rescue, we strongly advice you to let them complete all stages.

We believe that it is very important for students to have a consistent learning environment in order for them to reach their full potential. Rescheduling on a regular basis negatively affects classes and your child's progress. We ask that you only reschedule classes for illness and serious conflicts.
