Meet our Kids Stroke Development Swimming Lesson Instructors
When can I start with my swimming lessons?
We’d love for you to start swimming as soon as possible!
To get started, please complete our Registration Pack , including the signup and indemnity forms, and schedule your swimming lesson(s) with our office. Then, you’ll be ready to start!
Do you offer trial lessons?
We do not offer trial lessons, as our instructors invest significant time into each swimmer’s individual lesson plan.
However, we do provide a satisfaction guarantee, and you are welcome to pay after your first lesson.
Is my child able to take a break from swimming?
We don’t recommend taking a break from learning any skill as it disrupts the learning cycle needed for progression. If you absolutely have to take a break, then please let the office know so that your lesson credits can be placed on hold.
We are fortunate to have an indoor and heated swimming pool facility. We don’t encourage winter breaks because they do break the learning cycle, and we’ve found that swimmers who take an extended break often need to re-learn key foundation skills and confidence in the water before they continue with new skill acquisition.
How much are the swimming lesson fees?
We have a 4, 10 or 20 lesson-package pricing structure. Please request an updated swimming lesson pricelist on our contact page, or using the form below.
What equipment do I need for my first lesson?
Our standard equipment requirement applies for all swimming lessons:

How long will it take my child to swim all four strokes?
There is no set formula for learning to swim. Learning to swim is a long-term process that requires a commitment to regular practice. Every swimmer progresses at their own rate and will learn the required swimming skills for their swimming level.
How many swimmers are in one group lesson?
Swimmers are limited to a maximum of 5 per lesson in the big pool.
We’ve found these class sizes offer maximum learning opportunity for swimmers through peer demonstration and rest time.
We do however try spread swimming lesson bookings evenly so that class sizes are limited.
How will you know which level of swimming my child is best suited for?
Our admin staff will recommend the best lesson type for you based on your previous experience.
During your first session, our instructors will then confirm if that level is the perfect fit. If there is a mismatch, we will reschedule your sessions to a lesson type that better suits your abilities.
We try our best to group swimmers with similar abilities; however, we cannot always guarantee perfect placement as it is often subject to swimmers’ availability.
Who will my child's 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 lessons on different days of the week.
Our lesson plans are structured so that a similar weekly lesson outcome is achieved from all instructors, but they may be delivered slightly differently depending on the instructor for the day.
