Kids Swim Classes In Gladstone

Kids Swimming Classes

Once your child is two years or older, they can join an official swimming class. Parents should accompany children at this stage, though they may not have to be in the pool with them at all times, depending on the child’s age.

What We Teach

Our swim instructors will focus on the swimming basics in these classes. The goal is to build foundational skills that will help a new swimmer be confident and capable in the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long will it take for my child to learn to swim?

    With a skill like swimming, there’s no identifiable moment in which someone can be said to know how to swim. We base our evaluations off of giving your child a set of necessary swimming skills they can build on, rather than focusing on just getting them to the point of being able to swim. Children all learn and progress at different rates, so it may take your child longer or shorter than others to get comfortable in the water.

  • Does my child need any swimming gear?

    It is mandatory for children to wear a swimming cap whilst in the pool. Young children still wearing nappies will require a well-fitted swim nappy before entering the pool.

  • For how long can my child take swim lessons?

    Your child can take swim lessons for as long as they want. There are always more skills to learn and improve, including entering competitive squads and advanced classes as they improve. Even if your child is not interested in advanced swimming techniques, they can continue their swim lessons.
