Program Structure

Infant and Toddler Levels3 months – 3 years
30 min classes1:8 ratioParent & child
Parent and baby enjoying a swimming lesson together
At this level the goal is to allow your child to explore and develop confidence in the water in a fun, nurturing environment — whilst educating parents on the basics of water safety. A parent or guardian gets in the water with their child for every class.
Pre School Levels3+ years
30 min classes1:4 ratio
Young children building water confidence in a swim class
These classes are designed to prepare and transition the child from being in the water with a parent to without. We work on developing their confidence and love for the water whilst teaching survival and self-preservation skills. This is the base level in your child's swimming journey.
Ability Based Levels
30 min classes1:4 – 1:5 ratio
Child practising stroke development in a swimming lesson
Now that your child is confident in the water and can swim independently, it is time to work on stroke development — starting with the foundations of Freestyle and Backstroke. As your child moves through the levels, new skills and strokes are introduced while continuing to build on fundamental skills.
Marlin LevelPre Squad
45 min classes1:10 ratio
Swimmers refining stroke technique in the pool
This is the lead-in to Junior and Competitive Squads. Students have mastered the technique of all four competitive strokes. The focus is now on quality swimming, learning to read the pace clock, and fundamental competitive skills including starts, turns, finishes and swim terminology.
