What age should my child start swimming lessons?
At Swim Plus we start Aquababies swimming classes at 4 months old.
What are the benefits to starting swimming lessons at a young age?
With accidental drowning being the leading cause of death in under fives, it makes good sense for all children to develop water safety skills from a very early age.
How do I make a booking?
We have Learn to Swim lessons available morning and afternoon, 7 days a week. To be able to make a booking we firstly need to determine which level your child will be in.
We recommend to find the right class to meet your child's abilities; book them in for a FREE swimming assessment. Aquababies, toddlers and beginner swimmers will not require a swimming assessment.
To discuss booking your child into an assessment please contact your nearest Swim Plus centre.
How long are the lessons?
Our Aquababies and Learn to Swim Lessons vary in length from 20 minutes to 45 minutes per session.
Our Squad Program Sessions vary in length from 1 to 2 hours depending on the squad level.
How long will it take for my child to learn to swim?
Children’s learning abilities develop at different rates and often do not make equal and constant progress at every lesson, even with the best of instruction. The Swim Plus learning pathway caters for all learning abilities. Consistent attendance is a big help in swimmers aquiring new skills.
How often is my child assessed?
Your child’s progress is closely monitored by their instructors and pool deck supervisors.
Your child will be given a small card to indicate an important skill has been achieved; we will write up a vibrant and colourful certificate for your child to keep and track their progress.
When your child is ready to be promoted to the next level, the pool deck supervisor will inform you of the progress and will discuss booking options with you.
What happens if I miss a lesson?
Missed lessons can be taken as a make up lesson on a different day or time to your regular class. Please see terms and conditions for further information.
When are my fees due?
Payments are debited in advance for the current month from an approved credit or bank card. The amount is charged from your nominated account on the 1st business day of each month.
What are my options when we are away over the school holidays?
Our programs run as normal during the school holidays. Please see our Customer Service Team for options over the school holidays.
Why swim during the winter?
As with any skill, by not practicing in winter it can be detrimental to both the skills we are trying to teach in the younger levels and also to the swimmers' fitness in the older levels. Swimming throughout winter ensures they are ready for the more active swimming season in summer.
What do we need to bring along?
Swimmers require bathers, towel, googles and also dry clothes to change into after ther session.
What is the best way to choose and care for swimwear?
Swimwear is probably the most personal choice a child gets in swimming. Our Swim Shops have a wide variety of styles and colours. We stock a large range of swimwear that are chlorine resistant which last much longer than the usual lyrca material.
We recommend rinsing bathers in cool water immediately after use and hanging out to dry as soon as possible out of direct sunlight.
Does my child need goggles?
Goggles encourage young swimmers to put their face in the water, this in turn will help to speed up the learn to swim process. Goggles also assist good body position and reduce eye irrtation.
We recommend getting your child to practice wearing their new goggles in the bath and shower!
