25.01.2022 Good morning everyone. Wow, how about this weather? Gloomy, cold and wet. Great to see that it didn’t stop you from bringing your little champions to their very important swimming lessons yesterday for our 3rd Saturday of our 10 week course. Thanks Sharon for keeping motivated under the conditions.... And nice work little champs, you’re all going great. See more

24.01.2022 Good morning, swimming lessons are still running at this stage until we are informed otherwise. However we will not be using any equipment in our lessons as it is shared and there will be no lollipops or ice poles until after the Coronavirus has gone - again lots of hand touching everything. Please tell your kids before their lesson so we have no tears. Stay healthy

22.01.2022 Let’s take a look at some bath time conditioning. When conditioning make sure to use the same trigger words every time. We like to use name, ready go. We foll...ow the trigger words with a gentle pour close to forehead so that the water runs smoothly and evenly over baby’s face. Practice daily in the bath or shower. Use positive words and smiles to encourage your baby. If you baby resists, stop, play and try again tomorrow. Have fun and enjoy learning to swim together. See more

Please stay healthy keep away from people and we will be looking forward to seeing you in ...September bug free Take care The Sapphire Swim School team Cindy, Ron, Sharon and Cath

20.01.2022 Hi everyone, hope you all had a great weekend with your little champions. What a cold and windy morning we had yesterday for our 5th Saturday of our 10 week course. It was definately nicer in the pool than getting out. I’ve taken a few photos of the classes in action. Let’s hope we have a nicer day next Saturday.... A day like today would be nice. See more

20.01.2022 Goid morning everyone. Nice to see the sun out. Lessons will be on today but I understand that some of you may be flooded in or have trees across the road stopping you from getting here. Can you send us a message or direct to Cath, so we know. Safety is a priority.

20.01.2022 Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well and keeping safe and healthy. Especially your little champions. Just a reminder that as from the 1st of July you can apply for another ‘Active kids’ voucher which is worth $100 that we accept as payment towards your swimming lessons fees. Hopefully things will be back to near normal when we start up again in September. Stay warm and take care.

17.01.2022 Good morning everyone. Wow, what a terrible day. We are cancelling this arvo’s lessons, Tuesday the 23rd of March, due to this nasty weather.

16.01.2022 Good morning to you all. Just a reminder to everyone that Cindy is working out of Tumbarumba at the moment guarding our border from the Mexican's. She is also trying hard to get the class times all sorted out for the upcoming season. So please be patient if there is a delay in getting back to you if you have left any messages. In the meantime, back here at the Swim School, I have been busy getting the pool area cleaned up with a fresh coat of paint and of course getting the... pool water perfect. Don't forget to apply for your 'active kids' vouchers. Take care and see you all soon. See more

11.01.2022 Hello ‘little champions’, and to the people that love you so much that they bring you to your important swimming lessons. What a great day we had for our first Saturday of the 10 week course. A lot of new faces, which was great to see. And it was great to see we are all adapting to the covid19 plan we have in place. And great to see the enthusiasm your little champs have.... I use that word, great, a lot. I took a few great photos of the classes in action. Stay safe and healthy. See more

07.01.2022 Good morning little champions and to your loved ones. What yucky weather we are having. I managed to put a ceiling on the toilet yesterday so that you feel a bit more privacy. So now when you do a smelly one it will be all yours. Except for the next person that goes in. Take care.

07.01.2022 Good morning everyone. Wow, another gloomy day yesterday for our 4th Saturday of our 10 week course. We were lucky that the rain held off until the lessons had finished. Thanks to you all for abiding our covid19 rules. It’s not so bad once we got used to it. Hopefully a sunny day for next Saturday.... Have a nice week. See more

Sharon, Cath and Sarah are keen to get back into the pool and get these kids swimming again. See you all in the water soon

07.01.2022 Good morning everyone. Remember the days when we were young and had fun swimming in the rain? Well today will be fun like that for your little champs when you bring them to their important swimming lessons. See you soon.

03.01.2022 First swimming lessons start at home in the bath. There are many swimming activities we can develop including breath control through cup conditioning, back floa...ting, tummy time and water exploration. But a serious warning. Many children under five drown in bathtubs each year. Never leave baby, toddler or preschooler unsupervised in the bath. Even if only for a minute. Pull the plug immediately after use. See more

03.01.2022 We are hoping to start up again mid September. There will be a few changes to class times to ensure social distancing and that all health regulations are followed. Most of the regulations are to do with parents and family watching. If you are new to our swim school or have a child who is in the high risk category please contact us as we can ensure your child has a lesson with the only contact being the swim teacher. Some of you with more than one child might prefer to have a family swimming session. This may be the new normal for some time. Hoping to see you all back in the pool and the kids back to swimming and getting ready for summer. Don’t let your child become a statistic.

03.01.2022 Hi everyone, What a great day we had for the last Saturday of our 10 week course. Your little champions are coming along nicely with Sharon’s amazing teaching methods. Have a great Xmas and see you all next year.

02.01.2022 Good morning everyone. Not a very nice day for our 2nd Saturday of our 10 week course. At least it didn’t rain. Thanks to you all for taking care and abiding by our necessary covid precautions. Great to see a few new little champions come along.... Thanks to Sharon for your excellent teaching once again. I took some photos as usual but missed a few classes. See you all next Saturday. See more

02.01.2022 Good morning to our valued customers and our even more valued little champions. It is with great sadness that we need to tell you that this will be the last season of our swim school. We have been doing this for 12 years and it is now time for us to slow down and smell the roses and not the chlorine. We are so greatful that you chose us to teach your little champions how, not just to swim, but to save themselves if they fall into water. Our humble beginnings of Cindy wanting... our 2 girl’s to swim well, doing the Austswim Course, ended up with a successful swim school. Thanks to you all. We don’t want to leave you wondering where to go to next, so we are now going to assist our teacher, Cath, to run a swim school from her place in Kalaru. We’ll give you more info about this soon. Thank you all once again for a fantastic 12 years. See more

02.01.2022 Now this is an important message for everyone to share. Sadly bathtubs are common location for children under 5 to drown. Make sure that you pull the plug immed...iately after use. Never leave your child unattended in the bath. Supervision within arms reach is essential. Bathtubs can be so much fun for little ones. Enjoy bath time together. See more

02.01.2022 Good morning everyone. Wow, how lucky were we for our first Saturday of our 10 week course. Drizzly rain during the first lesson to hot and humid at the end. Cindy wants me to let you know that due to Easter holidays starting early April, the weekday lessons will only be 9 weeks long. Saturday’s lessons will still be 10 weeks and finish on the 3rd of April. Those of you that have already paid for their weekday lessons will get a week refunded.... And don’t forget we accept ‘Active Kids’ vouchers. See you down at the pool. See more

01.01.2022 Back floating is an important water safety skill. But there are some key points I want to reinforce. Always teach back floating in a positive environment. Ensur...e you take the baby or child’s lead and read their body language. If they resist then move on and try another swimming activity they enjoy. Come back to back floating periodically. Remember that the child’s growth and development will impact the success of teaching this skill. Non mobile babies will love to back float, the active toddler will resist back floating and with increased understanding and independence the preschool child will be able to achieve back floating success. But be under no illusion. No child is drown proof. Adult supervision is mandatory. See more

01.01.2022 Hi everyone. Wow, we finally had a nice and sunny day for our 6th Saturday of our 10 week course. About time. Your little champs are coming along nicely under the guidance of their teacher, Sharon. Sharon had a big week helping us out with classes on Tuesday and Wednesday whilst Cath was sick. Thanks heaps Sharon.... Take care and see you all next Saturday. See more
