PSTM is based on 3 basic concepts involved in swimming: Floatation, Breath Control and Displacement. Where floatation and breath control are the very first concept taught and displacement is its consequence. PSTM is very unique in the sense that it uses its own 16 steps teaching progression technique to ensure that each child is given the opportunity to safely learn the necessary skills to become a first class swimmer.
Our PSTM aims to teach swimming taking in consideration age, skill, motor and pedagogical level. Any child can start as early as 1 year old while adapting to the aquatic environment and will continue moving up to the Intermediate and Youth levels where they will fully develop their skills while swimming safely.
PSTM Highlights:
- A maximum of 4:1 student/teacher ratio.
- Periodic Evaluations.
- Schedule of learning skills goals for each week in each group.
- Group placement by swimming level and age.
- Monthly report cards listing each kid’s improvement. (8 Lessons)
- Certification for every level completed and a Final Certificate for swimmers graduating from Planet Swim School.
One can only measure what he/she evaluates! We at Planet Swim believe that evaluating is very important in order to measure the childs’ progress. Our teaching method evaluates each chils after 16 classes (Bi-monthly) and results are available through an evaluation report card.
The evaluations are based on the skills taught in each group and in order to move up to the next group one must have obtain 80% of the maximum score.
Certification
In recognition to the childs’ progress and efforts, Planet Swim will issue a certificate for each swimmer completing any level and a final graduation certificate for swimmers completing the full program.
