Halo Kids Indonesia: Swimming and Motor Skills Classes in Bandung

Children need enough movement and activity at every stage of growing up. That's why plenty of parents look for a sport or another activity that supports their motor development, and swimming is among the more popular choices.

If your child takes to swimming it's worth supporting. Swimming suits children particularly well when it starts early, and the AAP recommends at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day.

Swimming regularly carries a range of benefits. Those include better posture, stronger breathing and heart function, stronger muscle and bone, and improved motor development.

Swimming isn't the only route though. Mini hiking, field trips, outbound sessions, aquatic therapy and role play all support motor development, working gross and fine motor skills alike, so you can match the activity to what your child needs.

Around Bandung, Halo Kids Indonesia has offered both swimming and motor skills classes from one provider. Here's what it has run.

Halo Kids Indonesia in Bandung

Halo Kids is a provider of motor skills and swimming classes for Bandung and the surrounding area. It has built a reasonable reputation over several years, with parents leaving positive feedback on its sessions.

It has also developed its activities in partnership with brands across several sectors. That makes the experience a child gets broader than a single-discipline class would be.

Here's what it has offered. Confirm current classes, ages and fees with the provider directly, since these change.

Swimming Lessons

Swimming at Halo Kids Indonesia has been taught by professional instructors, so the programme is built properly around what suits a child. The classes have been aimed at children from roughly 2 to 9.

Sessions have covered the following.

• Bubbling, to get a child comfortable breathing out underwater
• Kicking technique
• Diving basics
• Floating and body position
• Water safety games
• Confidence work for children new to a pool
• Simple stroke practice once the basics are in place

Aquatic Therapy

Alongside swimming classes, Halo Kids Indonesia has offered aquatic therapy. That's water-based exercise with psychological, fitness and relaxation benefits, suitable both for healthy children and for anyone needing physical or mental rehabilitation, and it has been open to children from roughly 5 to 12.

Private Swimming

Private swimming lessons have also been available, covering babies through to older adults.

Motor Skills Classes

Motor skills classes have been another of its main offerings. The sessions have run as events rather than a fixed timetable, so it's worth checking what's currently scheduled.

Outbound and Hiking

Outbound has been part of the motor skills programme, with the equipment matched to a child's age. That has covered hiking, mini climbing, mini rafting, a flying fox, a rope web, a slide and swings.

Field Trips and Role Play

Field trips and role play have also featured. For these, Halo Kids Indonesia has worked with brands and companies to introduce children to a range of professions, including doctor, astronaut, police officer and barista.

Cooking and Baking

Making cookies has been a regular session, usually themed around characters children recognise. Cooking sessions have also run, covering healthy food and sushi.

The motor skills sessions have been supported by a counsellor from a partner clinic, so the activities are reviewed before they run.

Other Sports

Finally, Halo Kids Indonesia has offered other sports including golf, funlatics and futsal. A home visit option has been available for parents who want their child training at home.

Swimming Fees

Swimming fees have varied by class type and length. Check current pricing through Happy Kamper or with the provider directly.

Motor skills pricing has depended on the type of session, since the activities differ considerably. Confirm what a given session currently costs before booking.

Sports Class Fees
