The swimming school of Toucan Sportsclub is in Eindhoven and surroundings a true concept. Many mums and dads and subsequent children have achieved the A, B or C swimming certificate through this swimming school!

Our swimming method
At Toucan Sportsclub we work with a '4 step method'. Each step is concluded with a splash diploma for the children. You can find the steps below:

Step 1:

• Jumping into the water
• Floating on the belly and back
• Staying under water for a few seconds
• Blowing bubbles under water
• Make a nice leg stroke, both on the belly and on the back
• Breaststroke breast crawl
  *These steps are all done with straps and a cork as a floating device.

Step 2:

• Pushing off from the shore and floating on your back for 10 seconds
• Floating on your belly and blowing bubbles
• Entering the water with a headlong jump and then swimming through a hoop
• 30 metres breaststroke
• 30 metres backstroke
• The leg stroke of the breast and back crawl
• 15 seconds of water pedalling with a turn around the longitudinal axis

  *These steps are all carried out using a cork as a means of flotation device

Step 3:

• Turn to belly and float out for 10 seconds with the face in the water
• Tilting: 5 seconds floating on the back, tilting towards the stomach, 5 seconds floating on the back (face in the water), tilting towards the back and 5 seconds floating on the back

Entering the water:

• Straight jump and go completely underwater
• Drop backwards from the shore into the water
