What about SWAGA Gym’s regular classes throughout the year?
- Designed for children aged 18 months to 6 years, the Kindergym programme has three fun levels. Unicorn 1 is parent-accompanied for children aged 18 months to 3 years. Unicorn 2 (for ages 3 to 5) and Unicorn 3 (5 to 6) are drop-off classes. From crawling, rolling and jumping, to handstands, backbends and somersaults, the programme introduces children to more complex activities as they progress through the levels.
- The Fundamental Gymnastics programme in Singapore is for children aged 6 to 12 years. It sets the stage for more advanced levels of gymnastics. In the younger age group (6 to 9 years), children will build on the basics of gymnastics and start working on the different apparatus, including the bars and beam, and floor exercises. In the older age group (10 to 12 years), they’ll learn more advanced tumbling skills and routines, while also preparing for more competitive levels of gymnastics.
- The Espoir and Competitive programme is especially for advanced gymnasts who have a strong foundation in the sport and a desire to become competitive. If this is your child, experienced coaches will work closely with them to advance them to the next level. Aspiring gymnasts are welcome to attend a try-out anytime during the year!
- The exciting SWAGA Parkour programme is designed for ages 6 to 14. It’s split across two age groups: 6-9 years and 10-14 years. Children will be taught how to move through their environment in a safe and efficient way using a combination of running, jumping, climbing and rolling techniques.
