Swim School

With assistance from our Swim School instructors, toddlers are introduced to the water in a safe and encouraging environment. Classes aim to establish children's familiarity of the water by practicing paddle hands, leg kicks, floating and safe entry and exit from the water. Later stages will begin to focus on skills without assistance and start to develop water treading and the freestyle stroke. 

Classes focus on stroke technique across freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke. Later stages introduce survival strokes, butterfly stroke and elements of competitive swimming including diving and endurance in preparation for squad levels.  

With Junior, Intermediate and Senior levels, our squad program is designed to refine technique, test endurance, increase fitness and develop rescue skills. These levels introduce butterfly, use of a pace clock, starts and turns with a competition focus, resuscitation training and simulated rescue situations.

For many swimmers a school swimming carnival is the first time they have ever swum in a race, or the first time they have swum at the venue. 

Our school carnival swim squad teaches swimmers how to participate in a race so that they can achieve their personal best and help to minimise the nerves often involved in participating in a race for the first time. Sessions focus on race starts and diving off the block, relay changeovers and stroke development. 

Our Advanced Senior squad is suitable for high school aged students and focuses on fitness and technique development in a non-competitive environment.
