BabySwim


LifeCare BabySwim teaches children the fundamental swimming skills and water safety techniques necessary to enjoy the Australian outdoor lifestyle. Our qualified instructors create a fun, relaxed atmosphere for both parents and children while presenting the highest level of teacher instruction. LifeCare BabySwim offers exclusive use of the heated hydrotherapy pool, and the small classes provide an intimate learning environment for your child.

Endorsed by the Royal Life Saving Society the classes follow structured programs that promote staged learning for all participants. Children are rewarded with achievement certificates upon completion of a stage. Water familiarisation classes will help build your child's confidence and are the perfect introduction to basic water safety, however parents are reminded that adult supervision is the only way to ensure children's safety.

Pre-School Program (3 months - 5 years)

The preschool program further develops the skills learnt in BabySwim, however this does not prevent inexperienced children from entering the program. Children are placed in age/ability appropriate classes to ensure a suitable learning level environment. At this age children are encouraged to swim without their parents, although our teachers understand that some beginners may be a bit hesitant. Children at this level are educated by;

  • Encouraging safe water practices and teaching basic water safety and rules of entry.
  • Reinforcing basic water skills (sculling, treading water, gliding)
  • Developing independent movement on both front and back.
  • Commencing the development of correct stroke technique.
Maximum 4 children per class
Learn to Swim Program

Learn to swim aims to continue your child's education in and around the water. As the children physically develop, they are able to use their strength to concentrate on correct stroke technique in primary strokes of freestyle and backstroke. At this age the children are introduced to essential survival strokes and skills such as; Survival backstroke, Forward roll (somersault), Basic breaststroke, Survival sculling, Water safety sequences (entering pool, floating, returning to the wall and safely exiting the water).

Maximum 4 children per class
