25.01.2022 Bowen Swim School is the best. We highly recommend swimming lessons with Miss Belinda. She has taught our children skills they will continue to use for the rest... of their lives. Our children have made such a strong friendship with Miss Belinda. Our daughter was really lacking confidence with swimming and the change in her within just a couple of weeks was unbelievable. We are so grateful for the dedication at Bowen Swim School. See more

15.01.2022 Why do we play? Why do we sing? Why do we do all of these silly things? Channelling my inner Dr Seuss Play is literally our childrens language! For example - You might see us having horse races on noodles and goofing off. We see children learning to navigate the water, using push and pull forces to move their bodies around, using balance, coordination, building confidence and so much more, all with a HUGE smile on their face. Believe me when i say - the games we play ...and the songs we sing are actually some of the most important silly things! . #learn2swim #learnthroughplay #learntoswim #waterconfidence #watertherapy #skillforlife #lovemyjob #benefits #motorskills #muscularstrength #balance #coordination #autismswim #autism #bowenswimschool @ Bowen Swim School See more

15.01.2022 And just like that our regular term is over. Such a great way to finish with a gorgeous group of babies tonight To my regular families - We roll into casual lessons now, announced on the app over the holidays. These go fast and I will try to run a variety of days/times to help accommodate everyone. I know theres alot of you waiting for a spot, hang tight, we are training new teachers and working on it.

14.01.2022 This is such a great initiative run at the local town pool Grimsey’s Aquatics Bowen. Mums with little ones should contact the number provided to secure their place and join in the fun! . #waterawareness #learnthroughplay #babyswimming #waterconfidence #skillforlife

12.01.2022 April is World Autism Awareness Month. We had the opportunity to participate in a collaborative video for Autism Swim. Have a look at our students, loving life. All of our students are so very special to us so thankyou to the parents for allowing us to film and share . Big "high five" from Miss Belinda

12.01.2022 Heres some fun and one to show the kids, i know they love our animals. Did you know that before there was a pool in the yard our old dog had puppies out there? Can you count how many she had? Can you spot the one we kept? *Hint in Comments*

12.01.2022 This is alot harder than she makes it look! Most kids when given the option tried to climb the esky but it just kept rolling. Then we learnt to get under it to use like a giant kickboard.

07.01.2022 Today marks 5 years trading as Bowen Swim School. Over that 5 years our business has faced alot of change to be where i find myself now. I miss the indoor centre often but im also grateful for all of the opportunities i have received along the way to lead me to where i am today. This includes a strong commitment to our teaching model of "an individual approach for all ages and abilities". As of today we have 2 teachers and 2 more in tr...aining, we deliver private lessons for a variety of ages and abilities including special needs and we love what we do, so thanks for the continued support. Huge shutout goes to my husband Jeremy. Alot of you wouldn't be aware but the pool we swim in was supposed to be his new reef boat. He has sacrificed alot more than that including his time and energy into building, maintenance and repairs, listening to my crazy ideas and encouraging me to make all of them a reality. . #learn2swim #ASCTA #swimaustralia #skillforlife #achieveyourgoals #bowenswimschool See more

Starting June 1 - free virtual events will run live on Facebook each day at 2pm (AEST). Dance concerts, puppet shows, craft and book readings.

07.01.2022 our son was afraid of the water and lessons with Miss Belinda have helped him. we used to fight with him to wash his hair and now after a few lessons with Belinda and this is not such a challenge anymore. We are glad we enrolled him with Bowen swim school :)

07.01.2022 Thanks to all of my wonderful team and our families. Teachers come in many forms in our everyday lives

06.01.2022 Let me read you a story

06.01.2022 Our little mascot is missing . Please keep an eye out for us.

06.01.2022 These are not our safe entries This is our family holiday fun doing apple turnovers . Don't forget to have fun in the water between lessons. The difference we see in our students who regularly get to practice and explore is obvious. You dont have to turn every beach trip into a swimming lesson to see results, just stay safe, have fun and capitalise on your investment by providing your kids with aquatic opportunities to develop. #practicemakesprogress . #learn2swim #skillforlife #learntoswim #waterconfidence #fun #kidsactivities #ASCTA #swimaustralia #bowenswimschool

06.01.2022 An email has just gone out to all enrolled families. Please check your inboxes. In summary, due to the COVID - 19 situation we have been advised to take further precautions in our cleaning and to practice social distancing. Do not attend if unwell in any way.... Do not bring along any unnecessary spectators or siblings if possible. Do not arrive extremely early for your lesson. Childrens toys have been removed from waiting area. Hand washing and sanitation procedures are detailed in the email. We are following all advice and recommendations given to us and appreciate your patience.

06.01.2022 Swim Australia Registered Swim School for 2020/2021 . @ASCTA And @swimaustralia have been absolutely phenomenal for our industry during the Covid 19 pandemic. They have provided countless professional development opportunities and advocated for the aquatic industry beyond expectation. Their support went beyond just their members and its a credit to them. . #learn2swim #learntoswim #professionaldevelopment #ascta #swimaustralia #industryleaders #skillforlife #bowenswimschool
