Our Innovative Learn to Swim Program

Our curriculum consists of two parts - parent/child levels, catering for children aged 3 months to 3 years; and teacher/child levels, for children aged 3 years and above. Our parent/child curriculum has embraced the recent development in infant learn to swim research and development. Our infant program focuses on building abilities in the water for babies as they grow physically, just as their ability on land increases. It uses best practices from programs across the world, and focuses on the core elements of Conditioning, Buoyancy, Breath Control and Mobility.

Our teacher/child curriculum provide progressive, skill based lessons. Encompassing gaining confidence in the water, movement through the water, formal stroke development and survival skills our program will give your child swimming skills for life.

All our staff are Austswim qualified and hold current CPR and WWCC checks. We run quarterly training programs for our swim teachers to ensure the most up to date advances in the learn to swim industry are integrated with our own ideas so that your child gets the very best learn to swim experience possible.
