The main objective of Swim School is to enable children to become proficient in the four standard strokes. Emphasis is placed on coordination, breathing, arm action, and underwater skills. Swim School takes a nurturing approach to an individual’s development and acquisition of basic aquatic skills, and when spread over a suitable period these skills are achievable with minimal pressure.
Swim School is open for children's Learn to Swim classes, Monday to Friday from 3:00pm to 5:15pm and Saturday morning 8:15am to 11:45am. If you are interested in classes - contact us on 06 357 5583 or 06 326 8176 or complete an online registration form
