In this program, the focus is on physical, intellectual and personal development. Children establish a lifelong appreciation for safe activity in the water, and learn vital survival skills not just for the pool but for rivers, lakes and the ocean.
Children will learn to:
- develop and refine swimming strokes;
- cooperate with and respect others in an aquatic environment;
- make safe and sensible decisions and solve problems in and around water.
Our swimming teachers
All of our teachers hold nationally accredited swimming teacher and water safety certificates. They have current CPR and first aid certificates, and have training in safeguarding children and young people.
