Learning to swim is a skill for life
Our classes are tailored to suit a range of special needs. We will cater for the needs of individual swimmers and you can choose from a variety of lessons types:
- Group Lesson
Where possible we aim for integration into mainstream classes. We believe there are many additional benefits if inclusion can be achieved. If children are able to be integrated into a mainstream class, which is done with an assessment, the maximum class size maybe reduced by one, this may incurr an additional lesson fee.
- Private Lessons
Where a private lesson is necessary, we provide a one on one swimming lesson. The teacher will focus exclusively on your preferences for activities including swimming and stroke development, aquatic exercise, movement in water and relaxation. Carers welcome at no extra charge.
- More serious swimmer
we can offer a pathway into Multi Class competitive swimming.
- Casual Swimming
You can also choose to swim casually at your leisure using our equipment to enjoy all of the benefits that water has to offer. Please contact the pool for casual swimming hours
- Aqua aerobics
a weekly aquatic exercise class in conjunction with a local Disability Support organisation.
- Illawarra Disability Trust Swim 4 Fun
