Ready to get wet for Summer 💦

Turning underwater is an important water safety skill. Here the child learns to turn to safety – either the parent, ledge or side of the pool. As children grow with age and physical capabilities they will learn to turn underwater and climb out at the side of the pool.

While babies and young children must always be supervised in and around water, the ability to turn provides another layer of protection. Many parents who have been taking their child to regular swimming lessons have reported that this skill has proven to be vital for safety.

It is the middle of Winter here in the Hills. Jody Pierce swimming in beautiful waters in NT. He has been apart of Swim School since he was a toddler. So proud of your work mate and dedicated parents 💙💦

I have said this for years 💦

Finally, the weather is warm and summer heat means swimming pools and beaches will be filling with children and their parents.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – WHY DON’T YOU DO MAKE UP LESSONS?

Every program is different and must do what works for them. Here are some of the reasons that we don’t believe make up lessons are a good idea for our program.

WE DON’T WANT TO MAKE A PROMISE WE CAN’T DELIVER ON
As we get busier, our classes become fuller and sometimes there is no room to place people into another lesson time. It can be disappointing to our clients when there is no space for make up classes.

WHAT WORKS FOR US MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU
We know everyone has a very busy life. Make up lessons may be scheduled on the week that a family is away or at a time that doesn’t suit. This brings us back to the first point of promising something that we can’t deliver.

IT DISRUPTS THE QUALITY OF THE LESSON
By moving swimmers in and out of classes frequently this can stop the flow of the lesson. Our teachers plan and deliver lessons with the aim of achieving the best aquatic experience for each and every swimmer in the class. This is hard to do if the class changes week to week.

OUR BILLS CONTINUE TO ARRIVE
Our teachers must be paid. Our heating, electricity and water bills continue throughout the year. We continue to provide the service of swimming lessons to the rest of the class when our clients are away.

WE OFFER OTHER VALUABLE ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
We offer 5 free lessons to swimmers in our community at the start of every summer (this year we ran this program twice, offering 10 free lessons total to our clients). We also offer other discounted promotions or free activities to the swimmers in our community throughout the year.

We want to provide good quality swimming experiences for all of our clients. We hope that you enjoy what we do offer and continue on your swimming journey with us.
