21.01.2022 With lessons starting again so is our MOVEMENT TO MUSIC class. Do you have a little one 4 months to 2 years old that you would like to get in the pool? Movement to Music is a drop in class on Wednesdays 1pm - 1.30pm, $10 a class. It's a great way to introduce them to the pool in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Nursery rhymes playing while you learn water based skills with your child.
20.01.2022 We are still without power, so at the moment we are cancelling all infant and preschool classes this morning through to 1.30pm. Sorry, we will wait until after 1pm to make a decision about after school classes.

18.01.2022 As we hit the half way point of Term 3 just a reminder of a few things. COVID restrictions are still in place so please remember * 1 adult per child is to attend swimming lessons * Social distancing remains in place on pool deck so please do not move the chairs * Limits on the number of people in the change rooms still apply... Please consider all these rules for your safety as well as others
17.01.2022 We are so excited to be reopening tomorrow for our Learn to Swim program. All lessons start as of Monday 20th July (even for those that have a student free day). We are aware that there will be a lot of emotions from children and parents about coming back to lessons. With no swimming for most of our children for 4 months there will be lots of things to consider. Some children will be so excited there won’t be too much listening the first lesson, some will be scared, nervous, unsure....all these emotions are normal. A lot of children will have regressed so won’t be at their ‘pre-Covid’ ability. All is normal (well the new normal), and teachers will work through it with them and you. We are just happy to be back in the pool!
16.01.2022 Casual swim times for the holidays are now available to book your spot in. Bookings are essential, please call us on 6343 3565. Free time swimming is just as important as lessons....it gives kids a chance to practice their skills and explore the water on their own terms without a teacher always telling them what to do, so book in now!
15.01.2022 We only have one more week this term of Infant Movement to Music! These half hour sessions are held on Wednesdays at 1pm, and are tailored by our instructors to cater to parents/carers of children from newborn to 2yo. Classes are just $10 per session, and all you need to do is call us on 63433565 to book. (Babies will need to wear a swim nappy- we have them for sale here if you forget yours)
