We take children from the age of 3 months. You are more than welcome to put your little one on the waiting list for your chosen swim school until they reach 3 months. That way you will be more likely to receive your day and time of choice.
We recommend most students attend two swimming lessons per week. Skill development requires regular practice and two swimming lessons per week is a good start to get the most out of the program.
Swimming is a skill like writing and reading that needs regular practice. Continuing lessons through the school holidays ensures your child’s skill level and confidence is not forgotten.
No. At JUMP! Swim Schools, we provide a learning environment without the use of flotation devices to ensure your child develops mobility and buoyancy independently.
Yes – our philosophy is to have the same teacher each week as this is the best for your child’s learning. We encourage you to attend your normal lesson to ensure consistency as make-up lessons may be with a different teacher. Whilst we do endeavour to maintain the same teacher, the reality is that there are also times when teachers do change. We work hard to ensure that the delivery of our lessons are consistent and aligned with the Jump program, so the learning to your child is not compromised in these instances.
