Please Note: Swimming Lessons do NOT constitute drown-proofing or survival swimming, and cannot guarantee swimmers will be water-safe.
Beginner swimmers (both children and adults) should always be supervised when in and around water.
At Stars Swimming School, we understand that each swimmer learns at their own unique pace.
We may at times strongly encourage learners, but we’ll never force swimmers to undertake any activity or exercise they are not comfortable with,
but at the same time, swimming requires that we overcome our fears and explore our capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
I can't swim - can I still do aqua aerobics?
Yes, you can participate in aqua aerobics even if you can’t swim. Many aqua aerobics classes are taught in shallow water, allowing you to stand and work out without needing to swim.
You will however need to overcome any fear of water you may have, and be comfortable and relaxed in the water.
I'm a beginner. Is this workout going to be too hard for me?
Water is like an instantly-adjustable weight machine! Every direction you move a limb becomes an opportunity to strengthen and build balanced muscle groups. As a beginner, you’ll simply push your limbs through the water lightly and work slowly. In addition, only work out for as long as comfortable. Keep paying attention to how you feel and pace yourself.
In a week or two you’ll feel stronger, so you’ll be able to push your limbs faster through the water, which is like lifting a heavier weight. The more you build strength and aerobic endurance, the faster and bigger you can move. So the water keeps meeting and challenging you as your fitness improves, which is why so many participants have been in our program for years!
Will I get rid of cellulite?
Yes, aqua aerobics can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. The water’s resistance and the massage effect of the water on your skin can help improve circulation, reduce water retention, and stimulate the lymphatic system, all of which can contribute to a smoother appearance.
Will it be painful?
Aqua aerobics is generally low impact and not painful, thanks to the buoyancy of the water. The water supports your weight, reducing stress on joints and muscles, making it a good option for people with joint pain or muscle issues.
Can I book classes with my friends / siblings / family members?
Yes of course. We encourage learning new skills together with people with whom you are familiar.
We are happy to accommodate group bookings as long as our we have lesson availability (space) allows.
I have special physical considerations. May I still do aqua aerobics?
This decision is entirely up to your physician. Please give your physician our website information so that they can see our program and determine whether or not aqua aerobics is the right program for you. And remember, as with any other form of exercise, a complete medical checkup is advised before starting aqua aerobics.
Will I lose weight?
Yes, aqua aerobics can help you lose weight. Water aerobics provides a good cardiovascular workout and burns calories, which is essential for weight loss. The water’s resistance also adds to the workout, making it effective for strengthening muscles and overall fitness.
Why only 45 minutes?
Aqua aerobics classes often last 45 minutes due to a combination of factors, including maximising the benefits of the workout, transitioning between classes, and physiological considerations.
- Maintaining focus and technique
- Transition time
- Physiological limits
- Participant comfort
Do you offer trial lessons?
We do not offer trial lessons as our Instructors invest time into each individual swimmer’s lesson plan and outcomes, but we do have a satisfaction guarantee, and you are welcome to pay after your first lesson.
Who will my instructor be?
Our qualified and highly experienced instructors each work on specific days of the week.
This means that you may experience more than one instructor if you’re coming for swimming lesson on different days of the week.
Our lesson plans are structured so that a similar weekly lesson outcome is achieved from all instructors, but may be delivered slightly differently depending on the instructor for the day.
We highly recommend trying multiple instructors, each with their unique strengths and teaching styles.
