We swim 48/52 weeks of the year with a two-week break over the ACT winter school holidays, and a two-week break over the Christmas/New Year period
Swim all year round
Teacher consistency is very important to us. If your main teacher is away, we aim to have the same alternative teacher.
Consistent teachers
Children progress through our levels based on age and skill, to help them swim with peers.
Age and skill based levels
We love what we do and we want our students to love swimming too! This is achieved through a caring and nurturing environment.
