Baby Orientation
Babies can be introduced to swimming at
3 months of age. Children will
usually stay in these classes until they are 2 – 3 years of age. A parent or guardian is required to be in
the pool with the child at all times.
The most important skill your child will learn is what to do if they
fall into water and how to get out.
As children get more efficient we encourage greater levels of
independence preparing them for transition classes. These programs are fun, full of songs and
activities and are designed to support the parent whilst the baby learns.
Transitional Classes
The focus of transition is to give
children the foundation skills of swimming.
Your child will learn effective kicking techniques and body position
using a kickboard. They will also
learn essential lifesaving skills, what to do if they fall into a pool and
how to turn around and get to safety unaided.
Learn to Swim
There are three levels of learn to
swim. Each offers a distinct focus
on stroke development. As your child
progresses through these classes they will learn all strokes and swim
further distances. When children
progress through our learn to swim classes they are competent swimmers who
are able to swim at least 100m of all strokes and participate confidently
in their age level at school swimming carnivals.
Squad / Stroke Development
Participants at this level (adults are
welcome) must be able to swim all 4 strokes confidently. Swimmers are required to work through a
combination of endurance and technical development.
Mini Squad
We have a 45 minute mini squad with
focus on reinforcing and improving the technical aspects of each stroke
over longer distances.
