Our Water Familiarisation Program is a fun and gentle introduction to swimming for young children and their adults. Classes are 30 minutes in duration and run at a maximum ratio of 1 teacher to 8 adult/child pairs. 

During each 30-minute lesson, an adult joins their child in the water as we use songs, games and engaging activities to build essential water skills, confidence and familiarity. 

Children are gradually introduced to floating, kicking, submerging, movement and water safety in a supportive environment, helping them feel happy and secure in the pool. 

Our goal is to build strong foundations so that by the age of three, children feel confident and ready to transition into independent swimming lessons.

Although we do offer a sibling discount for group sessions, this does not apply to our Water Familiarisation classes as they are already discounted.

  • Always treat everyone as an individual
