Swim and Survive - Active

Active provides a broad and balanced swimming and water safety program ensuring children aged 5 – 14 years will develop a sound knowledge of how to be safe when in, on and around water whilst practicing specific skills in swimming, personal survival and rescue.  

Lessons are conducted under the guidelines of the Royal Life Saving Society Australia. The program is delivered by qualified AUSTSWIM - Teachers of Swimming and Water Safety where each child is assessed then allocated into the appropriate swim-school level.

Swim and Survive - Wonder

Wonder is a variety of programs appropriate for the infant or toddler’s developmental stage from 6 months to 3 years. Classes have a safe and structured multi-sensory environment, considered for the child together with the parent to have fun, play games, sing songs and educate through aquatic play to gradually build up confidence and independence whilst gently exploring the excitement of being in water.

Swim and Survive - Courage

Courage is a pre learn to swim program for children aged 3 - 5 years, designed to aid the transition from parent-child lessons to independent swimming through further developing water familiarisation and water safety skills by fun water-activities and games.
