Our development approach allows each child to experience a sense of achievement and celebrate large or small. We know swimming makes children stronger smarter and healthier. How do we know? The longitudinal research by Griffith University showed children who swim before school are ahead of the milestones of their peers of anything up to 15 months.

We pride ourselves in offering world-class programs with a focus on the engagement of your child. The program is designed to align with a child's development stages, previous experiences, and temperament to allow for an entry level, intermediate level and exit level of each program, one flowing into the next. Your children are in great hands. We turn fear into courage.

The teaching team and coaching team are so excited to deliver quality learn to swim and coaching support to all our swimmers, to not only achieve – but excel within our programs.
