First Dive
Our intermediate swimming lessons for children five years or more are ideal for kids who are starting to get confident with swimming unassisted and now want to hone their technique with basic strokes and increase their endurance.

What will my child learn during your Intermediate Swimming Lessons?

By covering SWIMMER levels 2, 3 and 4, this program helps kid’s already comfortable performing basic front and back crawls unassisted in deep water. In this program, your child will improve their front and back crawl, learn the primary technique for breaststroke, and work on their endurance. Your child will also learn basic aquatic entries like a standing dive and gain safety skills in-line with the Lifesaving Society’s Swim to Survive program.

​In our intermediate swim classes, your child will learn:

  • ​Front crawl
  • Back crawl
  • Basic breaststroke
  • Endurance training
  • Simple aquatic entries
  • Safety skills

The student-to-instructor ratio is 3:1.

FAQ - Intermediate Program

Swimmer levels 2 to 4 are intermediate swimmers. Detailed main challenges per level are specified in our Learning Progression section.

In general, intermediate swimmers will be learning front crawl with side breathing, back crawl, and the basics of breaststroke.

Yes. Level 2 is usually the most difficult one, as the swimmer must start swimming independently front crawl with side breathing.

The intermediate program is offered only at the Havergal location.

Yes. Some students will find it difficult to flex their feet and replicate the circular motion with feet wider than knees, as it requires a different set of coordination and flexibility compared to the already learnt flutter kick.

During our intermediate lessons, we will be focusing on teaching stronger front crawl and back crawl, as well as introducing the breaststroke. Visit our advanced program to better understand what’s next.

Best swim school ever. The instructors are caring, patient and know how to deal with children from babies to older children. Both my children (2 years old and 4 years) are currently in the same class as the teachers adjust their teachings according to their skill levels. The pool is warm as well, perfect for winter time. Great ratio of teacher to student - most of the time, my children have basically their own teacher! I highly recommend Frank's Swim School!

Highly Recommended! Our girls have been attending Frank's Swim Classes since they were babies and I truly can't say enough wonderful things about the program, staff and owner Mike. Everyone is absolutely wonderful with the girls and has helped them advance in their abilities and grow their confidence in the pool. Building strong swimmers has always been a non negotiable for me as we look at it as a life skill, and I'm so thankful that Frank's Swim School has been such a positive and integral part of this experience for my girls thus far. Thank you Frank's Swim School, you are amazing. We are thankful.

My sister in law introduced us to Frank's Swim Classes as my nephew went there since he was young. My son started at 2.5 yrs old there, he wqs the youngest one in the class. The teachers were so patience with cause cried 45 minutes straight!!!. Now he loves going swimming. The ratio from teachers to students are great. Almost feels like private lessons. They so attentive to the kids.

we’ve moved around quite a bit & tried different swim schools & Frank’s is hands down the best school we’ve been too. My 5 year old is swimming & diving in with so much confidence & independence (& says Tues are her favourite day of the week). My 3 year went from disliking the pool to now laughing & smiling the entire time & loving his instructors…. These lessons have done wonders for my kids. We were just in Mexico & my eldest was duck diving straight into the waves & laughed it off when her mask was pushed off her face and then my youngest tried bodyboarding & wasn’t bothered with the facefull of water. It was incredible to watch!

My 2 kids have been to many swim schools in the past. Franks, by far, is the best, most organized swim school we ve ever been a part of. The instructors are dedicated and know exactly what the kids need to be successful in the program. We will definitely continue to be with Franks for many years to come.

Only with Franks 3 weeks and already can’t say enough positive things! My children learned more here in 3 weeks than in 3 semesters at their previous swim school. There’s an adult supervising (not a teen!) and he actually goes to the different groups to help the instructors with tips and suggestions. My kids used to complain about their swim classes and teachers now all 3 love them. Thank you Franks!
