BeGinner CLASSES

Our Beginner swimming program is all about building confidence and independence in the water from the very start! We begin with playful games and gentle techniques to help young swimmers feel comfortable and safe.

As they grow more confident, they'll develop essential skills like supported floating, independent kicking, and simple arm movements to propel them through the water.

The final stage introduces them to the joys of a recognisable over-arm freestyle and independent back kicks, all while expanding on crucial water safety skills to ensure they are happy, secure, and ready for their next aquatic adventure!

Building a foundation of trust and water confidence. Toys, games, and gentle acclimation techniques are used to help young swimmers feel comfortable and learn about their place in an aquatic environment.
