25.01.2022 Drowning Prevention with Wendy These classes are a great way to get children safe faster than group classes, when parents are unable to commit to our survival swim program. We teach children skills to swim independently as soon as possible. They learn how to survive in water, which also gives them the confidence to love the water! ... Drowning Prevention lessons are available 7 days a week. These Private 10 minute lessons aim to get little ones safe before they learn stroke development. They are suitable for children 3 and up, slightly younger if the children are familiar with us and our program. Send us a PM or contact Reception for more info or to enrol. The sooner the safer

25.01.2022 When youre 3 and a half and working on Stage 2 freestyle Survival Swim gives our students the confidence to thrive in water! And a lifelong love of water. Well done to Eliana! We love watching her progress and improve, knowing she is a happy, safe little swimmer

25.01.2022 Meet April! April is new to our family and after only TWO survival swim lessons, this 6 month old is already much safer in water. Our Survival Swim program gives infants and young children aquatic survival skills and a solid foundation for life as a swimmer, from as early as 6 months. This sets your child up for water safety from the get-go, and a life time of safety and fun! ... The program is suitable for children 6 months to 6 years who would be considered at risk of drowning if an unexpected fall into water happened. Phone or message us any time for more info!

23.01.2022 Jumping and diving are so much fun! Even when your teacher has told you a hundred times not to!

23.01.2022 When you are 2 and swimming independently, the water is a fun place to enjoy the warmer weather We teach children as young as 6 months how to survive and thrive in water. Survival swim saves lives! And gives children a life long love of water

22.01.2022 3 year old Ivy is an independent little swimmer. She can swim, float, swim without assistance and has completed all her Stage 1 skills. She is now working on her big arms to do 5m freestyle across the pool Ivy loves coming to lessons with Teacher Audrey and we love teaching students just like her!

22.01.2022 $245 raised for Cancer Council! Can you help us get to $300? The last of our beanies will be available this week. We appreciate your support enormously!

22.01.2022 Wishing all our awesome daddies a very Happy Fathers Day!

20.01.2022 We are hiring! Swim Instructors are needed at our Canning Vale and Willetton swim schools for weekend mornings and/or week day afternoon shifts. Please email [email protected] to apply. Successful applicants will start in Term 4 and should be able to teach Babies, Stages 1-8, as well as adults. ... Our fun swim schools are a great place to work. And we only teach students from the most awesome families in Perth

20.01.2022 Floaties are one of the most dangerous inventions EVER! Worst of all, they put children in a drowning position, and not a swimming position. It is far better for children to learn correct swimming techniques as early as possible and remove the need for using floaties at all. ... We love to teach children how to survive safely in water! Children as young as 6 months can learn to survive aquatic mishaps

20.01.2022 We all know someone who has had cancer, some of our Swim Parents have first hand experience of it too - so supporting Cancer Council is very close to our hearts! Our little ones are loving their beanies There are only a few left but we can custom-make more if you miss out. Please put your orders in at Reception. Thank you for your support! Our Waterwise Families are very much appreciated ... Have a great weekend everyone

20.01.2022 Parents often ask if their children will remember their Survival Skills if they miss a few lessons. This awesome little 1 year old still has her float after nearly 3 months out the pool while we have been closed Can your child survive in water? Survival Swimming is the fastest, most effective way to get children safe and loving the pool!

19.01.2022 Christmas Party 2020 Thank you to all the families who came to share an afternoon of fun with us We have lots more photos to post over the next few days!

18.01.2022 Washing hands, swimming, floating, rolling over to float - all essential to save lives! Especially rolling over to float

18.01.2022 This little 17 month old can Swim, Float AND Fly! Swimming is so much fun once you have the aquatic survival skills to be safer in water

18.01.2022 Shout out to Swim Australia! They are our much appreciated Swim School Partner. Swim Australia provides our Instructors with state of the art training resources, provides our swim school with marketing and promotional items, and is open minded about various teaching methods. We love being a Swim Australia Swim School

18.01.2022 Wishing all our Waterwise families a very happy and safe 2021!

17.01.2022 Yes! Survival Swim is an Essential Service and these are skills every child needs.

17.01.2022 7 month old April has been rolling over to float successfully since her third survival swim lesson She stands a chance of surviving an accidental fall into water, which is the cause of 80% of child drowning incidents. Every child needs aquatic survival skills. Not to play and be familiar in water, but to learn real life-preserving skills! The sooner, the safer.

17.01.2022 Wishing all our awesome daddies a very Happy Father’s Day!

16.01.2022 Meet Cameron! Cameron is our new weekend receptionist at Canning Vale Cameron is going to study a double degree in Mechatronics Engineering and Computer Science next year at Curtin University while spending his weekends here with us!

16.01.2022 Happy Hump Day! These 2 cuties can swim and are all ready for a fun summer! They have completed our Survival Swim course and love their time at lessons. If you have a baby, toddler or child who is not yet safe in water, please talk to us about Survival Swim. This course gets children swimming, floating, and safer in just weeks. Not years.

16.01.2022 The last of our Christmas Party photos for 2020! Thank you to @eternalframephotog for capturing all the fun on the day.

16.01.2022 Survival Swim teaches little ones to survive - then thrive! 3 year old Nate learned to swim, float, swim as a toddler. Now he has a huge advantage as a safe little swimmer because he is comfortable and competent in the water. And most importantly, he knows how to survive an aquatic mishap.

15.01.2022 Parents, do you know First Aid and CPR? You never know when your child, their friend or someone around you may need your help. Knowing how to respond quickly and effectively in an emergency situation literally saves lives. Swimming Teachers have to do a CPR course every year, and someone at each Swim Facility must do a First Aid course every 3 years. Courses are available frequently throughout the year and for under $100. It is a small investment, and very worth doing

15.01.2022 No, we didn't throw him in! Daniel went out with a splash on his last day at Waterwise and had a swim in our pool, uniform and all We will miss his fun-loving but professional approach

14.01.2022 We love to hear from happy parents! Just want to give a big shout-out to the amazing Waterwise teachers who have worked so hard to make this little guy's transition to Stage 3 both successful and fun!!!!" 4 year old Mitchell has been with us since Toddler Classes and has worked hard to complete Stage 2 now. It looks like he is off to a great start in Stage 3!

08.01.2022 Happy Halloween from us at Waterwise!! Luckily at Canning Vale there weren’t any tricks but a whole lot of treats Swipe to see some of our water monsters

08.01.2022 Survival Swim delivered like this sadly gives our amazing program a bad name. At Waterwise, our Survival Swim program is gentle, loving and based on a huge amount of positive reinforcement. It not only teaches children to survive and thrive in water, it also gives them self-esteem both inside and outside of the water, and so much more! We do not throw children into water. We do not traumatise them. ... We teach them to survive in water through a very special bonding experience Not all Survival Swim programs are equal. Families are welcome to come and watch our lessons in progress any time, and to talk to other parents who are only too happy to share their experience of our program.

07.01.2022 Happy days! Lessons will resume at Cannng Vale and Willetton from next Saturday, 6th June. Families who did not terminate their enrolment before we closed in March are still currently enrolled and will be emailed over the weekend with all the details (please check Junk Mail if you dont see that by Sunday evening). Families wishing to return or book makeups, please phone us during office hours.... We cannot wait to see all our students and families again. You wont believe how much we have missed you all!

07.01.2022 There are only 3 beanies left at Willetton. If you havent bought one yet, you might still be in luck!

06.01.2022 We love to hear from happy parents! Just want to give a big shout-out to the amazing Waterwise teachers who have worked so hard to make this little guys transition to Stage 3 both successful and fun!!!!" 4 year old Mitchell has been with us since Toddler Classes and has worked hard to complete Stage 2 now.

05.01.2022 As a swim school committed to Drowning Prevention, it is essential that all our Instructors know how to teach your child how to get safe in the water. Swimming lessons are not just an activity to keep children busy and stimulated outside of school and home. Water is a lot of fun but it can also be dangerous. Every child needs to learn to survive in water. We train all our instructors in some of the essential survival skills your child needs to learn. The sooner, the safer

05.01.2022 Adults enrol in swimming lessons for varied reasons and with different goals in mind. For many, their first lesson is their first exposure to swimming. Some return to the pool after a scary incident when they were younger. Many of our families know Brian who manages our Canning Vale swim school. He recently did a huge running event - 70 kms in an ultramarathon, up and down the hills of the beautiful Cape to Cape in the Margaret River region. Now he is training for his first s...olo triathlon. He has never swum more than 50 metres at a time and his first event is a 750 metre swim in January It will be a challenge, but Brian is a determined athlete who loves to focus his energy to reach new goals. Whatever your goals or needs, our experienced Waterwise Instructors can help. We have lessons 7 days a week at our Willetton & Canning Vale pools. Contact us today for more info It is never too late to learn, or to improve on your swimming skills!

03.01.2022 We have our fingers crossed to be back in the pool within the next few weeks - as soon as contact sports get the okay to resume, and we are confident we can open without putting our families at risk. In the meantime, Drowning Prevention is still our mission. Always!

03.01.2022 Survival Swim in Action During the covid break, about 8 weeks after lessons had stopped, 21 month old Felicity fell into a canal in Mandurah. Her Dad watched her roll over for a breath then turn and catch the edge. She knew exactly what to do in that moment and calmly saved herself. Would your toddler have the skills to do the same?... There is potential danger all around us with easy access to bodies of water that cant be fenced off. If you are not confident your child could survive an accidental fall into water, please contact us! Children can get safe with these effective survival skills in just a few weeks. Seeing is believing!
