WATER COURSES

Aquatics courses take place in our on-site swimming pool. Courses are dedicated to children from 3 months to 6 years old, not only for those enrolled in our Nursery & Kindergarten but also for other families keen to experiment the water element.

The goal is to get to a complete familiarization into the water, through a play-based experience which favors the psycho-motorial development.
Playing stimulates interest, curiosity, creativity and socialization as well as challenge, courage and all other important aspects for the children’s psycho-physical growth.

The skills/competencies meant to be acquired are:

  • harmonious physical development;
  • reliance on others, self confidence;
  • interaction and integration between motorial, sensorial, cognitive and emotional functions.

NEONATAL AQUATICS

Specific goals of the course are:

  • self awareness;
  • familiarization with the water environment;
  • promotion of the attention and concentration;
  • improvement of the coordination;
  • development of a partial independence into the water.

PRESCHOOL AQUATICS

  • to achieve and/or maintain independence in water from a motorial, educational and emotional perspective;
