Our quality program has been developed to ensure the best learning outcomes for your children. There are nine levels, divided by age as well as ability to ensure your child will always be in a class with children of the same age and ability. Levels are mapped to the mandated Victorian Curriculum, in use in all public and Catholic schools. The last level, Advanced, is a very challenging class and will ensure your child is a capable, confident and strong swimmer.
Over the course of 2018 and 2019 we partnered with Deakin University to produce a world first study on the best program method that enables children to retain their swimming skills – whether that is through weekly lessons; school intensive swim programs; a combination of both as well as children who do not participate in lessons. The report is available here.
Lessons are available seven days a week and children can start from just 6 months of age. We also cater for adults where there is no age limit.
