What is the EAAS multidisciplinary teaching model?
It is a disruptive teaching model in terms of teaching swimming and aquatic activities, which includes an integrative and multidisciplinary approach, with an emphasis on the elementary and basic movements of pure swimming, artistic swimming, water polo and aquatic safety.

This teaching model allows the practitioner to develop a general motor base, as well as aquatic motor skills that underpin and facilitate the learning and development of more specific skills.

What do I need to do to sign up for EAAS?

To enroll in EAAS, all students from the age of 3 need to undergo a level assessment, scheduled at the secretariat/reception and carried out by specific technicians who assess technical skills according to age, levels and pedagogical objectives.
