Kids Swim Classes

Wonder is a program taught with a parent/carer and child together in the water and focuses on water familiarisation. They use songs, games and activities to assist in the development with a variety of water skills. It’s also a great way to bond with your little one!

Wonder has 2 to 3 levels arranged in age groups.

The highest level aims to progress parents out of the water as the children approach the upper end of the age range.

Our pre-school program is designed to build on your child’s familiarisation with the water and establish crucial water confidence.

Courage is broken down into 5 stages, as follows:

• Courage 1 – Aims to encourage independence in the water.
• Courage 2 – Aims to foster confidence in participating independently with focus on front/back floating and kicking (using aids) with minimal support from the instructor.
• Courage 3 – Aims to develop the capabilities required to kick (with aid) and glide on front and back over 3 metres (unassisted).
• Courage 4 – Focuses on reinforcing the skills acquired in Courage 3 and performing a basic freestyle swim over 5 metres (unassisted).
• Courage 5 – Aims to develop side breathing skills in freestyle and introduce backstroke over an 8-10 metre swim.

Our school-aged program focuses on further developing swimming skills and water safety practices.

Through eight carefully designed stages, our instructors will assist students in consolidating the fundamentals of swimming, safety and survival.

Key milestones by the last stage of Active include the ability to perform freestyle/backstroke (75m), breaststroke (50m) and butterfly (25m), including starts and turns.
