Because Every

Swimmer is Unique

We understand that every swimmer has different needs. With a 2:1 class size, WETS Certified Swim Instructors tailor every lesson to each swimmer's age and stage of development.


From the first lesson, instruction is hands-on, guiding each swimmer to build positive muscle memory in the correct technique with each new swim skill.

SKILL-BUILDING METHOD

WETS  Program

We teach swimming through the WETS 1 and WETS 2 development stages. Students ages 3 and up join at any stage of development and lesson sessions run year round to help students continuously progress.


Students learn to swim correctly, skill by skill in the right sequence, building their capabilities at their pace as they grow. When a student demonstrates correct technique in a skill, they collect a skill achievement token and progress to the next skill, stroke, or endurance milestone in their sequence.

SKILL FOUNDATIONS AND PROGRESSIONS

WETS 1

WETS 1 builds confidence and eases fears. This stage equips students with the building blocks of swimming to prepare for WETS 2.   


SWIM SKILLS

Students learn skill by skill with the correct technique. Lessons focus on single skill progressions, combined skills, introduction to strokes, distance swim, and on eliminating errors to develop strong strokes. 


WATER SAFETY

Students build water safety capabilities from their first lessons, practising safe water entries and progressing to jumping into deep water and returning to safety. These lifesaving and survival skills continue developing through WETS 2.

STROKE DEVELOPMENT AND ENDURANCE

WETS 2

WETS 2 advances students' swimming capabilities and water safety skills, refining four essential stroke techniques, including Front Crawl, Back Crawl, Elementary Back Stroke, and Breast Stroke.


STROKE DEVELOPMENT

Stroke order is personalized to each swimmer's preferences, strengths, and goals.


ENDURANCE

As students demonstrate their stroke proficiency, they work on extending their swimming distances and building stronger endurance up to 500 metres.

Progress You Can See.

Confidence They Can Feel.

VISIBLE PROGRESS

Skill Achievement Tokens

Swimmers receive a WETS Wristband when they register for our program. As they demonstrate each swim skill correctly, they collect a Skill Achievement Token, visually recognizing their progress.


Upon completing their skill token collection, swimmers graduate from the WETS Program, and we celebrate the confidence and proficiency they've built.
