‘Parent and Child’ lessons for babies under 2 years of age teach basic water awareness, acclimatizing
even the youngest child for fun and hassle-free learning, familiarising them to the swimming environment whilst providing
fun time with other babies. Babies learn to put their face in the water and blow bubbles, bob under the
water, kick on their tummy, lie on their tummy and their back, which all leads to confidence to be able to learn to swim when
they get a bit older. These classes also help parents to have the confidence to be able to take their baby
swimming themselves. The
minimum age for students to undertake lessons is 2 years of age. Lessons for 2 - 4 year olds are conducted every weekday
morning, weekday afternoons and on Saturday for pre-school age children or younger. Lessons are of 30 minutes duration
with a maximum of 4 to a class. Most students will be acquiring the skills for our Tommy Turtle Certificates Pink, Blue, Green and Orange. Lessons for older children
are conducted every weekday commencing at 4pm. Lessons are of 30 minutes duration with a maximum of 5 to a class.
Students are taught the skills relevant to our Swimming and Water Safety Awards Levels 1 through 4.
Level 5 Group is for students who have achieved Level 4 and wish to obtain
Level 5. Students in this Group will develop the fitness to enable them to achieve the Level 5 citeria
through swimming longer distances than can be achieved in lessons.
Senior Squad is generally for students who have achieved Swimming and Water Safety Awards Level 7 and students who wish to swim in a squad structure for fitness and stamina. No testing
takes place within this squad, the emphasis is on general training and social interaction. SWIMMERS conducts Life Saving Victoria Bronze Star, Bronze Medallion and Resuscitation courses each year. Awards up to Distinction can be examined. |
