Max 5 children per lesson
These are the first steps towards getting your child familiar with water safety. As is standard at this age and level, a parent or carer is to be in the water for the entirety of the lesson.
Squirts (6-12 mths): Our littlest swimmers begin building confidence in the water through gentle movement, sensory play and parent-assisted activities. Babies become familiar with water resistance while developing important early water safety awareness and survival skills in a fun and nurturing environment.
Small Fries (1-2 yrs): Building on the foundations of Squirts, swimmers continue exploring the water with growing independence and confidence. Lessons focus on water safety, safe movement through the water and preparing little ones for independent swimming skills.
Max 3 children per lesson
It’s a big step to independent swimming, so we want your child to feel confident and comfortable about it! Bearing this in mind, our class sizes at this level are reduced to a maximum of three children per lesson to assist them to progress comfortably through each level. After an initial discussion, a trial lesson will be organised to make sure your child is in an appropriate level to suit their skill and age group.
No one likes feeling alienated, particularly when trying to improve on a skill. We appreciate that even a small group format is not optimal for all children so we offer private 1:1 and 2:1 lessons for individual families from 3 years old and upwards. We also offer pre-squad preparation to get older children ready to move up into a “big pool”.
We have a team of experienced and dedicated Access & Inclusion instructors so we are able to assist Self-Managed or Plan-Managed NDIS participants. Our highly qualified team are committed to supporting those in the community who require specialised assistance. Our facility has also been purpose-built to ensure ease of access. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch so that we can discuss your individual requirements.
Swimmers learn to confidently submerge their face in the water, practise assisted back floats and begin developing independent water confidence and self rescue techniques. Floatation aids may be used when needed to support safe skill progression.
Swimmers develop independent paddling skills over 5 metres, learn correct breathing techniques and practise safely returning to the pool edge and independently entering and exiting the pool. Classes also focus on building strong back floating skills and water safety awareness.
Swimmers build confidence swimming 7 metres using “big arms” with developing breathing techniques. Introduction to Backstroke begins, alongside continued focus on safe swimming habits and independent movement in the water.
Swimmers refine their Freestyle technique over 10 metres with bilateral breathing and develop stronger Backstroke skills. Lessons continue to reinforce water safety, endurance and confidence in deeper water.
Swimmers confidently complete a full pool length (15m) of Freestyle and Backstroke with correct technique. Breaststroke kick is introduced while continuing to strengthen safe swimming skills and stamina.
Swimmers build endurance by completing 4 full pool lengths (60m) of Freestyle and Backstroke. Breaststroke and Butterfly kick are introduced, with continued emphasis on technique, water awareness and swim safety.
Swimmers confidently complete 8 full pool lengths of Freestyle and Backstroke while developing correct Breaststroke and Butterfly technique. Butterfly stroke is introduced as swimmers continue advancing their strength, endurance, water safety and confidence.

As the name suggests, assists in squad class readiness by working primarily on stroke correction and drill-based training.
1:1 and 2:1 lessons offered from 3 years old and upward. Private lessons also provide an opportunity for children who are less confident, preparing them to join group lessons once they are ready.
