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: 4 mths - 18mths. Waterbabies 2: 18 mths - 2 1/2 years
Tadpoles (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 backfloat.  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, backfloating, 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.
Stingrays (Max 4 per class)	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 students 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)	In Sharks we introduce breaststroke to our students. Emphasis is still concentrated on technique and again we encourage further distance to be swum.  25 metres freestyle, correct breaststroke kick & 25 metres backstroke need to be achieved before moving to 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, breaststroke & 25 metres of butterfly need to be achieved.
Adults & Teenagers (Max 5 per class)	These classes cater to adults & teenagers of all levels.
