Sears I CAN SWIM
"Inspiring children to love aquatics for life!"
Children and parents love Sears I Can Swim because it promotes participation, fun and success in the water. It's the only program that lets children learn at their own rate and rewards them every step of the way. Designed to appeal to all age groups from babies to teens to adults, the Sears I Can Swim program features:
- A fun, rewarding learning atmosphere
- Early introduction of all four swimming strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breast stroke & freestyle)
- Focus on swimming skills and stroke refinement
- Multiple swimmer rewards and incentives
- Learner-centred philosophy
- Continuous celebration and feedback rather than a pass/fail approach
- Wide range of exciting aquatic activities
- Ongoing program refinement and product development
- Adaptable to swimmers with disabilities.
DYNAMIC ALL-AGES ACTIVITIES
A complete aquatic experience, Sears I Can Swim offers challenges and rewards for children of all ages and abilities. The program includes a 5- module Preschool Program, a 3 Stage Swimming Skills Program, and a Stage 4 Sport Modules Program that offers six different aquatic activities - everything from water polo to competitive swimming.
PARTICIPATION, FUN, SUCCESS
The primary goal of Sears I Can Swim is to develop excellent swimming skills and a true love of aquatic activities. Children who are challenged, have fun and enjoy success in the water are more likely to become life-long swimmers.
NATIONAL AFFILIATONS
Originally developed by Swimming/Natation Canada the Sears I Can Swim program now operates in alliance with a diverse range of national aquatic agencies including Swimming/Natation Canada, the Canadian Swim Coaches & Teachers Association, Synchro Canada, High Five Parks & Recreation Ontario, Water Polo Canada & Triathlon Canada.
