Frequently Asked Questions

Our lessons run year-round, with the exception of a break over Christmas and the New Year period. Year-round lessons are the key to consistency, as swimming is a skill that requires regular practice.

All of our instructors are required to attain a nationally recognised teaching qualification, either AUSTSWIM or Swim Teachers Australia. In addition they need Working with Children and First Aid certification, along with our own intensive swim teacher training.

Evidence suggests that children who participate in regular swimming lessons at an early age are better prepared for learning in other spheres. Our Swimming Babies and Pre-School programs emphasise safety and survival skills such as breath control and submersion, turn around swims back to the wall, and back floating.

For our Swimming Babies program there is an average of 5–6 children per class. Our Pre-School and School Age programs have an average of 3–4 children per lesson.

Lessons in our Swimming Babies program are parent and child lessons. One parent will be required to assist their child in the pool. We believe this helps them become accustomed to the water and be confident while in the care of their parent. We suggest that parents wear tops their children can hold easily.

You are free to change classes at any time, as long as we have an available space and time that suits your preference. You don’t have to wait for re-enrolments.
