The ultimate goal of the Learn to Swim framework is to help swimmers become confident and competent in the water, and to promote a lifelong love of swimming and aquatic activities.
Our framework begins with Parent and Child classes and progresses through to Level 5 Stroke Development. Each level builds upon the previous stage, introducing new skills and challenges that are appropriate to the swimmer's ability.
We maintain small class sizes to provide a personalised and customised learning experience for each of our students.
Schedule a complimentary 10-minute assessment to determine the most suitable level within our framework for your child's needs.
Our Parent and Child swimming programs are specifically designed for toddlers, and pre-schoolers with a strong emphasis on water safety and skill development.
Each class is tailored to suit your child’s age and developmental readiness, helping build water confidence in a supportive and engaging environment.
We focus on essential safety skills such as floating, safe entries and exits, breath control, submersion, and basic propulsion. Through structured activities, songs, and play-based learning, children begin developing their swimming technique while also learning key survival skills that support safe behaviours around water.
Our goal is to foster a lifelong respect for water and equip children with the foundational skills they need to stay safe and enjoy aquatic environments.
