Swim School

Coogee Diggers learn to swim program is a skills based program for children 3 years and over. Your child will be assessed and placed in a class based on their ability. Beginners are taught new skills over short distances, as your child progresses through the levels and they start to master important skills we then increase the distance that your child will practice over.

Swimming is a difficult skill to learn and takes time and practice, constant positive reinforcement is needed to keep swimmers on target to grasp the skills. Remember, once a skill is mastered your child needs to continue practicing it because it may be used in the next level.

Our main goal is to provide a safe and fun environment for your child to learn in, we feel that enjoyment is essential to learning. Remember that your child will progress at his/her own pace, so encourage their progress, try to attend all classes and include swimming in your family’s recreational activities.
