Classes (we call core groups) are coordinated to accommodate babies of a similar age together, allowing for comparable developmental needs. Each term, core groups continue to progress through the different stages of the program with ongoing lessons available until approximately 5-6 years of age. At our Success venue, Independant classes run up to 8years of age.

Class sizes are small for optimum class dynamics and each class has exclusive use of the pool.

The program begins with water confidence and develops into a progressive learning system where skills and techniques are learnt through “play is learning and learning is play”. Integral to the program are creative, individualised toys and equipment that promote continuous and joyful learning. We like to keep it fun!

When children are ready to move onto their next stage of development, we modify our techniques to enhance these natural steps forward. Skill mastery is achieved through repetition and extension and to cater for individual needs, our teachers provide adaptations for all activities in our lesson plans.

The exact age a child may graduate varies with each child as consideration is given to individual ability and emotional readiness. Between 5 and 7 years on average

Our program nurtures a love of water for life and helps children develop confidence, aquatic skills (including stroke development), awareness of safety in and around water as well as incredible lung capacity and inspiring creative play.

Parents have been by their child’s side throughout the long journey and it is so rewarding to be a part of all of it all, especially to witness the strong bond of love and mutual respect we see between parent and child.
