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.
