Join Get Grenada Swimming for free swim lessons during the Sandals Foundation National Learn to Swim Week 11-15 July from 9 am – 12 pm every day.
The lessons are being offered throughout Grenada for children 5 years and older and we highly encourage adults to come out to learn. Sixteen locations (listed below) have been identified for these lessons and you may register by going to www.getgrenadaswimming.com.
Some of the instructors have been in a 6-month Professional Swim Instructor class also sponsored by Sandals. They have been attending every Saturday for the last 26 weeks and will be graduating on 2 July, just in time for swim week. The course examined different types of learners and teaching strategies (class formations, progressions, working with different personalities) and discussions on how to teach swim stroke progressions, writing lesson plans, fitness, first aid and water rescues.
