Program at a glance

For babies and young toddlers attending with a parent or carer. Your child’s age and confidence help the team choose an appropriate group. This age range spans BrainWave Bubs (6–12 months) and BrainWave Tots (1–3 years). Ask the team which group suits your child.

  • Who it’s for: 6 months–3 years
  • Session length: 30 minutes
  • Learning format: Adult-assisted

What swimmers work towards.

Skills develop at an individual pace. These are learning goals, not guaranteed outcomes after a set number of lessons.

  • Feel at home in the water: Supported floating, balance and body positioning.
  • Discover movement: Early arm and leg movements, with adult support.
  • Build water awareness: Practise entering and leaving the water with guidance.

A little preparation. A more relaxed first swim.

An instructor guides adults and children through activities using toys, songs and teaching aids. One assisting adult joins each child in the water. Under-three adult-assisted classes have up to eight students.

  • A swim nappy for your child.
  • Towels and a bag for wet clothing.
  • Swimwear for the assisting adult.
  • Allow time to check in and get changed. Mention any access or support needs when arranging your first visit.

A pathway that grows with you.

Teachers review progress and recommend a suitable next level when the swimmer is ready. Teacher assessments generally take place every four to six weeks. Progress reviews set goals; skill evaluations record development towards the next level.

  • Bubs: A beginner introduction for 6–12 months.
  • Tots: Beginner, Confident, Intermediate and Advanced stages for 1–3 years.
  • Preschool readiness: Usually around 3–3½ years, when ready to participate without an assisting adult and follow instructions.

Fees and practical details

See the Swimming Lessons price guide for published category rates. Confirm your selected class, start date and total with reception. Regular enrolments use a $150 Swim Starter deposit before the first monthly debit.
