 CLASS

 

 DESCRIPTION

Waterbabies 1 & 2
(Max 8 per class)

 Songs, games & skills are gently woven together and are designed to slowly begin the process of water familiarisation.  Parents & Babies can experience relaxed, uninterrupted time together learning to swim and play all year round.
Waterbabies 1: 4mths - 18mths.  Waterbabies 2: 18mths - 2 1/2 years

 

Tadpole
(Max 4 per class)

 It's time to venture out to the depths without mum or dad. 
Water confidence is a must and in this class the children wear a backpack. 
When a 3 metre swim without flotation, a confident back float & face in the water blowing bubbles is achieved, it's time for our little Tadpole to move to the next class.

 

 Goldfish          
Max 3 per class

 In Goldfish we commence a more structural format.  We develop deep water skills without flotation, introduce torpedoes with face in water blowing bubbles, backfloatin, submersions, dog paddle and water confidence games.

 

 Starfish
(Max 3 per class)

In Starfish we concentrate more on introducing freestyle and backstroke arms.  We introduce activities to develop correct flotation, body position, correct arms & breathing techniques in freestyle and backstroke using a board.

 

 Stingray
(Max 4 perclass)

  The Stingray class concentrates more on breathing techniques in freestyle& backstroke.  Once 5 metres of freestyle with correct stroke & breathing and 5 metres of backstroke with correct stroke are achieved, our students then advance to the next stage.

 

 Dolphins
(Max 5 per class)

 The Dolphin class continues to work on freestyle & backstroke techniques, working to improve our student's fitness by increasing the distance swum. Once 10 metres with correct stroke & bilateral breathing are achieved we can then advance to the next stage.

 

 Sharks
(Max 7 per class)

 Sharks is hed in the deeper end of the pool and we introduce breastroke to our students.  Emphasis is still concentrated on technique and again we encourage further distance to be swum. 25 metres freestyle, correct breastroke kick & 25 metres backstroke need to be achieved before movingto the next class.

 

 Whales
(Max 10 per class)

 In Whales we introduce the new stroke of Butterfly and further refine the
other three strokes.  Increased work on conditioning is also undertaken.
To graduate from this class 50 metres of correct freestyle, backstroke, breastroke & 25 metres of butterfly need to be achieved.

 

 Adult & Teenagers
(Max 5 per class)
 These classes cater to Adults & Teenagers of all levels.

Missed Lessons
If your child is unable to attend their swimming lesson you can choose to either:
1.  Book a 'Make-up Lesson' on an alternative day
2.  Pay a $5.00 'Holding Fee'/$3.00 Waterbabies
Make-up lessons can be made up in any appropriate time slot seven days a week to avoid the holding fee.  This small fee helps us cover the cost involved to hold your lesson space and keeps the overall cost of lessons down.
If your child has missed 3 weeks and we have not heard from you, your child's name will be taken off the booking sheets and you will lose this time slot.
Last Lesson in Advance
When your child attends their very first swimming lesson, we ask that you pay for one lesson in advance.  This paid lesson is used as your very last lesson with us.  This system helps to keep our bookings organised maximising available time slots for all our swimmers.
Free Saturday Swim
Saturday afternoon public swimming is available FREE to anyone currently enrolled in our Learn to Swim classes.  Mums and Dads are also welcome free of charge.
Every Saturday 1.30pm - 3.30pm.  Any children under 12yrs MUST be supervised by an adult.
Brothers, sisters and friends currently not attending our swimming lessons are also welcome, however, will be asked to pay the usual public entry fees.
A qualified lifeguard will be on duty for this session.  Please adhere to their instructions to ensure a safe environment for everyone.  There will be a maximum of 70 people in the pool at any one time.  Your patience and understanding is appreciated.  To avoid disapointment please ring to book on the Monday of the week you are wishing to participate in this session.
