IMPROVE SKILLS
IN AND AROUND WATER

Water competence means moving safely, confidently, and effectively in and around water. It's about real-life safety, not Olympic strokes as seen on TV.
Through working with steps from the Self-saving Ladder™, we show and help your child become confident in the water and help your child gain vital water skills.

The different classes include many activities and themes and are adapted to the age of the participant as well as to the levels – so all no matter what their ability in water is will have great takeaways and learning successes.

We focus on water activity skills like floating & balance, breathing control, entry & exit techniques, survival skills & rescue awareness.

Classes include: Floating & balance, Breathing control, Entry & exit techniques, Survival skills & rescue awareness, Understanding real-world water and risks also when wearing clothes.

The Water Competence Camp offers: 

  • Professional instructors (External instructors + Green Team)
  • Take-home resources in paid activities: Goodie bags with water toys, compendiums & Self-saving ladder™ tools
  • Safe, including, supportive, and seriously fun water time
  • Camps for 3–5-year-old and 6–9-year-old
  • Family camp about lifesaving skills from age 6 and up

INSTRUCTOR

Maria Jæger is also an external instructor from Your Potential International Swimming Academy – YPISA.

Maria is always chasing the "why?". Why do we do what we do? The "why" can make us realize what and how we learn best and make us aware of our blind spots and learning resistance. This way of thinking is how Maria creates learning situations – she simply sparks curiosity . With a loving push, she aims to inspire, and play. Besides being an educated teacher, Maria also holds a Master's in Physical Activity and Health.

Maria is running YPISA’s swim club in Denmark – situated on Fyn. Maria holds a board membership in the Danish council of greater water safety, and she is also working with water safety on a international level as she is representing Denmark in ILSE (International lifesaving Europe).

Maria loves the joy of teaching and especially seeing the great moments when children and adult experience control and joy in the water.
