We aren't just another big aquatic centre with thousands of people where you are just a number. We are an exclusive chain with a limited number of places for swimmers. We cap the number of classes and children in each class to ensure that we pay the right amount of attention to each child and their progression.
We get to know both you and your child and take time to form a relationship, which in turn, makes it easier for us to teach and make sure that your child gets the most out of their lessons. This also allows us to provide the feedback that you need to help your child outside of swimming lessons. We are open year round (yes, even through school holidays) because we believe that practice makes perfect, and too many weeks off can hinder progression.

There are so many options regarding swim schools, why would it be better to come to us? Well, firstly, we have smaller class sizes. Maximum 6 babies in the baby levels (with parents), maximum 3 children per beginners class, and maximum 4 for the older, more advanced kids.
Our pools are treated with OZONE which means that we get to use less chlorine, leaving your and your childrens' skin and hair in much better condition, as well as reducing irritation in eyes and for asthmatics.We also offer make-up lessons when you are not well or on holiday, so that missing a swim lesson is not on your worry list.

Little Ones
Report
In this level we aim for complete water comfort. We start with encouraging the use of the babies' intrinsic ability to hold their breath (known as the bradycardic response). Babies have this natural ability until roughly 6 months, so we try to get them to practice without submerging at first, until we feel comfortable that they are doing it with small cups of water over their heads.
Advanced Critters
Report
This is the advanced level for babies that have been through the Sea Urchin and Seahorse levels. The children will need to be tall enough to stand on our platform, and be able to walk. These two developmental milestones enable them to do extra activities that we offer in the older age groups, but at a younger age.
Independent Kids
Report
Jellyfish kids are fresh to the water, or need to work on independence skills. They are in a class with 2 other children and the teacher. In this level we work on breath control, submerging, kicking, paddling and back floating. A lot is covered in this level, and a child can go from feeling uncomfortable in the water, to happy and swimming independently but it can take some time and persistence from child, teacher and parent alike.
Super Swimmers
Report
In this level we start to teach the breathing technique for freestyle, continue with backstroke and introduce butterfly. This level focuses on butterfly and breaststroke, but does incorporate freestyle and backstroke, as well as monthly basic lifesaving skills. After completing the Otter level, we encourage children to continue swimming in a bigger pool in a squad.
