Introduction

Selecting an appropriate gymnastics class for your child at SWL Gymnastics is a process that involves careful consideration and expert guidance. Our club offers a range of classes for different ages and skill levels, and our approach ensures that each child is placed in the most suitable class for their abilities.

Understanding the Class Structure

Before choosing a class, it's crucial to understand our class structure and skill levels. Visit our Levels and Target Skills page to get an overview of the skills associated with each level.

Initial Assessment

  • First Class Assessment: In the first class, our coaches will assess your child's abilities.

  • Class Placement: Based on this assessment, we will recommend the most suitable class for your child for the following week.

  • Flexibility in Levels: While you can choose any class to start with, including advanced levels, the final placement is determined by our coaches to ensure it matches your child's skills and readiness.

Squad Classes

  • Invite-Only: All squad classes are invite-only.

  • Assessment by Managers: Admission to these classes requires an assessment by our managers, Marx and April, to ensure each gymnast is ready for the advanced training and commitment these classes entail.

Choosing the Right Class

When considering a class, think about your child's current gymnastics experience and goals:

  • Age and Experience: Ensure the chosen class aligns with your child's age and current gymnastics experience.

  • Personal Goals: Consider whether your child is participating for fun, fitness, or competitive aspirations.
