instructor with child swimming

School age

Our program will see your child develop a love of swimming, a strong technique and confidence in the water.

  • Start anytime! We operate throughout the year, rather than by terms.
  • As no one develops in the same way, move through each of our levels at your own pace.
  • Access the pools at any time outside your class.

We have 7 levels in our learn to swim program for school ages as well as a transition class if your little ones are new to the program.

WETLANDERS (3 - 5 years)
Wetlanders is a transition class aimed at easing the journey between parent/child classes to independent teacher/child classes. You will be slowly transitioned out of the water as your child's confidence grows.

ACTIVATE
Our first level is all about ensuring a strong foundation. We focus on floating, gliding, breathing and confidence in being underwater, so from here swimmers are ready to add on new elements.

BUILD
Next we really work on kicks, which is crucial to a swimmer's stroke. We look at ensuring a strong technique across all primary strokes.

COMMIT
It's time to add on arms! Once combined, swimmers will develop strong, coordinated movement through the water.

DRIVE
Mastering breathing and timing can be one of the most challenging aspects of learning to swim. Our drive class is dedicated to ensuring swimmers are completely at ease in this area.

EXCEL
Now all the primary strokes are perfected, we look at increasing the distances and improving each swimmer's individual technique.

FINESSE
Continuing with distance drills and technique, swimmers will also focus on safety and how to respond to a variety of aquatic emergencies.

GRADUATE

Our final level prepares students for future opportunities such as water sport, competitions and squad programs. We focus on distance and overall fitness in a pre-squad team setting.


Pre-Squad

Following Graduate we offer a pre-squad program. It’s for kids who have finished our graduate program and want to keep swimming, but don’t want to commit to a formal squads program. We’ll assist with further refining your stroke and keep you fit and focused. Ideal for swimming carnival preparation!

BRONZE

An introduction to squad swimming. The primary focus is on learning competitive strokes and race techniques, with emphasis on stroke technique, teamwork, basic training, etiquette, and discipline.

 SILVER 

Maintains an emphasis on stroke technique while incorporating more aerobic endurance and racing skills. Our instructors encourage and teach the lifelong love and appreciation of swimming as we introduce the swimmers to more advanced drills, preparing them for Gold Squad.

GOLD

For swimmers who have personal ambitions to reach higher fitness goals. This pre-squad trains at high intensity, with a focus on three main areas of improvement: swimming technique, strength, and endurance. 

We also offer an Access & Inclusion Program for kids with disabilities and special needs.
