Important message for all parents/students/guardians
Please take note of the following to help create a safe, positive and effective swimming experience for yourself.
Your progress will depend on your starting ability, confidence and practice.
Complete beginners can start from the fundamentals.
If you are uncomfortable in the water, developing confidence should come before more advanced swimming techniques.
Focus on developing correct movements rather than rushing through different swimming strokes.
Learning proper breath control can make swimming more comfortable and efficient.
Excessive tension can make floating and efficient movement more difficult.
Distance and stamina can be increased progressively as technique and fitness improve.
Showering before entry helps keep pool water clean, balanced, and hygienic for all swimmers and young infants.
Practise skills using the techniques demonstrated during your lesson.
Let your coach know anything that could affect your safe participation in the lesson.
Careful handling and following instructor submersion cues prevent unnecessary water ingestion during lesson activities.
The goal is not simply to learn quickly, but to develop good technique, water safety awareness, confidence, and the ability to swim independently over time.
