Vesiralli 4

In Vesiralli 4, children continue working on skills learned in Vesiralli 3. They will become more skilled in performing all the strokes and their turns. During a single class the children will swim increasingly longer distances. Vesiralli 4 sessions are in the big pool.

• Dive in head first
