Pathways into aquatic sports
Our mission is to inspire babies and children on a lifetime adventure through water. And there are some great aquatic sports and activities out there for your child to get involved in.
JUMP!’s teaching philosophy encourages children to develop skills in the water to get them swimming earlier. Learning to swim at a very young age is a lifestyle choice for young families that will enhance lives, and create shared family memories in, on and around water.
Getting involved with other water-based activities will further encourage your child’s lifelong love for water. Here are some great aquatic pathways for your child.
Surfing
Surfing Australia provide opportunities for your child to come and try surfing through Weet-Bix SurfGroms.
