Stronger, safer swimmers start here.

Let’s start at the beginning, together. Sow the seeds for a lifetime love of swimming and essential swimming skills. Here’s what you can expect from our water familiarisation programs.

Swim & Play includes two swimming programs for babies through to toddler/kindergarten designed to teach your swimmer water familiarisation, water safety, and essential skills. Swimmers start with learning a range of skills, including kicking, floating and submerging, and progress to jumping into the pool and solo swimming.

The classes focus is for kids to feel confident in the water at a young age within a safe environment. Click here to find your nearest swim school today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens in a Dolphins lesson?

In our Dolphins class, your child is now one step closer to putting the entire freestyle stroke together. Learning the correct breathing for freestyle is crucial, particularly as swimmers are required to swim longer distances in the levels to come.

Dolphins swimming lessons work toward formal stroking in both freestyle and backstroke. The swimmer will be assisted in developing these skills through the use of a pod board. This helps develop technique by providing a small amount of buoyancy to make learning the stroke process easier.

What Merit Awards will swimmers receive?
  • Single arm freestyle
What happens when a swimmer graduates Dolphins?

Once swimmers demonstrate these skills at the required standard, they will be promoted to the Sharks level of our 400 Gold program.
