TERM LESSONS - 2009/2010 SEASON
We are a Royal Lifesaving Society Endorsed Swim School. Our stages/certificates are the same as those used by The Royal Lifesaving Society and Education Department Interm programs.

Our philosophy is that children should be strong and confident in passing a stage. We believe our standards are high and in the long run will produce much better results for your child’s swimming.

All our staff are Austswim or Royal Lifesaving accredited. All hold a current police clearance/working with children check and resuscitation qualification.

We cater for children 4 years and up. Our swimming lessons run in 4 blocks over the summer season:
