Learn 2 Swim

3+ Years

Our Learn to Swim program is structured to guide your child from beginner to advanced levels. If you’re looking for a Kids Swimming Lesson in Coogee, this is where their confidence and water skills start to grow. All lessons are 30min.

Beginner levels

  • Seahorse is a transitional class that allows parents to be in the water with their child, but will gradually encourage independence as the term progresses. Students will continue to develop trust, confidence, and reassurance to swim solo with their teacher

  • Lobster kids are ready to learn without mom or dad, this level focuses on water safety, breath control, balance, submersions, floating, and paddling, helping them gain the confidence to swim independently.  

Improver levels

  • Starfish has children work on extending their flotation and body position while being introduced to arm and kicking actions and how to be safe in the water.

  • Turtles emphasises building distance and independence while refining breathing techniques. Swimming aides like kickboards are introduced, along with diving activities.

Intermediate levels

  • Platypus swimmers focus on rudimentary freestyle swimming with breathing, along with backstroke body position and kicking, both individually and in pairs.

  • Dolphin’s focus here is on improving technique and increasing distance. Coordination of breaststroke and backstroke is also emphasized.

Advanced levels

  • Sharks focus on developing freestyle and backstroke techniques for 25meters, while also learning timing of breaststroke and introduction to butterfly.

Junior development program

  • Stingrays fine-tune their endurance and technique in freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke, while learning self-management skills such as lane etiquette and continuous swim distance.

  • Orca is the final level in our Junior Development Program. Orcas will fine-tune all four strokes, experiment with racing techniques like dives, tumbles, touch turns, and drills, and work on endurance in preparation for the Junior Squad Program.
