Our ‘Star Fish’ programme builds confidence from getting wet, through to learning all four swimming strokes, personal survival skills and the technical skills of turns, finishes and streamlining for additional speed.

Our principles for success include:

• The safest child around water is a supervised child
• Swimming skills are learned easily once the aquatic fundamentals are second nature
• Swimming is fun, and a skill for life
• It takes 90 repetitions to learn new skills… perfect practice makes perfect
• Every child brings their own colour and perspective to each class
• Multiple lessons per weeks accelerates learning
• Individualising up and down accelerates learning every session
• Water safety and learn to swim are one and the same

Our top three levels learn to:

• Maximise the use of nature’s forces
• Streamline effectively for easy speed
• Utilise balance to decrease resistance
• Feel for the water and learn how body awareness increases propulsion
