School age - learn to swim
School Age Learn to Swim Lessons are held after school and on Saturday's
By enrolling in our popular learn to swim program, you are giving your child one of the most important skills they will ever learn and one they will utilise for the rest of their lives. Our system of teaching children how to swim has proven to be very successful, producing swimmers with excellent swimming technique. Our program & teaching methods are continually being refined & kept up to date with the world industry standards in swim teaching.
