AquaGO!

   ​
AquaGO! is a nation-wide program, available at Nelson Reflections. Your child will find an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment! This program starts with having fun both outside and inside the pool. They will learn the important basic skills below that are great for recreational time in the water, but also set in place the foundation for all aquatic sports:
  • Floating and breathing
  • Water entries
  • Stroking and Kicking
  • Sculling
  • Body positions and water awareness
  • Agility, balance and coordination
  • Strength and flexibility​
AquaGO! is taught in a group lesson by CAS certified instructors that provide additional safety, motivation, enthusiasm, and support. Children move to different stations where they learn through games, using music and equipment in a fun, active atmosphere. To keep them engaged and motivated, AquaGO! has built in awards and incentives to encourage children as they progress. They will also receive ongoing positive group and individual feedback from their instructors.

​
​An active child is a healthy child, and AquaGO! will give your child skills for life!

"Our daughter joined synchro with no experience whatsoever in water sports and gained very challenging  skills faster than we ever thought possible. This group is committed to inclusion of all skill levels and has resulted in wonderful mentorship and friendship. I can't thank the coaches enough for the wonderful opportunity for our daughter  to learn synchro in a fun, safe, friendly environment."
