8 WEEK SWIM PROGRAM - Ages 4.5+
All lessons are 1:1 and customised to the level, ability and progression of each individual child. A chance to boost swimming skills with our 8 week 1:1 swim program. The continuous reinforcement of swimming consolidates skills and accelerates development and progression especially on a 1:1 basis. With no distractions from group lessons or children trying to learn side by side at different levels and abilities. A great opportunity for children to get a much needed 1:1 kick start to learning the fundamentals whilst it’s an amazing opportunity for swimmers to progress their existing skills to the next level.

Program costWhere: Queenscliff Rockpool Session: 8 week program Cost: $320pp for the 8 week program ($40 per 30 min weekly session for 1:1) Lessons are run at Queenscliff Rockpool which replicates the ocean environment so that we can encourage children to become strong swimmers and emphasise how important water safety is.
Full wetsuits are advised. Dependent on the level and ability of your child we can exchange pool sessions for ocean based lessons upon parental approval after the initial first lesson. Please contact me directly if you would like to discuss this option. NOTE: This is a guide to the basic swim program. Due to working 1:1 with kids this may alter slightly as each kid learns and progresses at different rates for different age groups, so adjustments can be made.
