The Aquamoves Swim School operates under the Nationally Accredited Swim and Survive Program. We provide engaging and interactive swim classes for children aged from 6 months, right through to older adults.
Our philosophy is to provide a safe and friendly learning environment for our students and assist them to develop an awareness of potential dangers in and around water, whilst teaching a range of swimming safety and survival skills.
All of our swim teachers are fully qualified and accredited instructors. They are trained to teach a range of classes including; infants, preschool, primary school, people with a disability and adults.
Swimming lessons are held in small groups with class times available 6 days a week from Monday to Saturday. Most lessons are 30 minutes long (some advanced and adult levels run for 1 hour) and are held once a week. Instructors will determine when a child is ready for the next level and a member of the Aquatics team will contact the parent to let them know.
In addition to our standard 30-minute small group lessons, we also offer teenage fitness lessons. These sessions run for one hour, once a week. The aim of these lessons is to improve the endurance and fitness of teenagers.
Lessons are subject to swim instructor availability.
