Baby & Toddler Swimming
Our learn to swim program starts as young as 4 months old. These are designed to educate the parents on the fundamentals of Learn to Swim. Following a 7 step process parents can track and understand the steps needed to see consistent progress. Learn holds, conditioning, strength exercises, safety practices and so much more.
During lessons, my focus is on learning – talking with the parents and educating them about on different methods and skills they can introduce to assist the development of each child. Songs can be great for building a positive environment for a beginners, however I’d prefer to keep the focus on making the most from the 30 minute swimming lesson.
I am a firm believer that children should learn to swim without the aid of floatation devices. In certain circumstances floatation aids can be introduced briefly to aid the progression, but children should be taught breath control and feel buoyancy to enable a positive aquatic experience.
The baby and toddler classes are grouped in age. This enables me to introduce certain practices that are pertinent to the child’s development. Classes that have multiple age groups can slow the progression and usually restricts the introduction of more advanced skills.
Classes are split into the following age groups.
- 4 – 8 Months
- 8 – 12 Months
- 12 – 18 Months
- 18 – 2 Years
- 2 – 3 Years
- 3 – 4 Years
School Aged Learn to Swim
Our swim program for children aged 4 years and above is thoughtfully designed to cater to young swimmers at various stages of their swimming journey. We organise our learners into homogeneous groups, spanning from level 1 to level 3, ensuring that each child is placed with peers of similar skill levels. This approach facilitates a more focused and effective learning environment where children can thrive and progress together.
A major focus of our curriculum for this age group is the development of quality freestyle and backstroke skills. Our experienced instructors are dedicated to teaching these fundamental techniques, emphasizing correct form, efficiency, and confidence in the water. The goal is not only to master these strokes but also to instill a sense of accomplishment and a deep love for swimming.
Each lesson is 30 minutes long, designed to capture the optimal balance of learning and practice time without overwhelming our young swimmers. Parents are not present in the water during these sessions, encouraging independence and concentration among the children. To ensure personalised attention and a supportive learning experience, we maintain small class sizes with a maximum of 5 children per class. This setting allows our instructors to address individual needs and foster a strong, cohesive group dynamic.
Adult Learn to Swim
Whether you’re overcoming a fear of water, learning to swim for the first time, or refining your strokes, our program is designed to meet you at your level. Classes are structured to ensure that each adult learner receives the attention and guidance necessary to achieve their personal swimming goals, with a focus on building confidence, enhancing water safety, and improving overall technique.
Understanding the diverse schedules and commitments of adults, our swim lessons are offered at various times, including late evenings and weekends, to accommodate busy lifestyles.
With a commitment to providing a comfortable learning experience, our classes ensure a respectful and encouraging atmosphere for all participants. Each session is conducted in small groups of 4 students, allowing for personalised instruction and meaningful progress, making learning to swim as an adult not only achievable but also an enjoyable and rewarding pursuit.
