How we teach swimming

We treat every little swimmer as if they were our own, creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where nationally qualified swim teachers provide individual care and attention in every lesson.

We love sharing your child’s swimming journey with your family, from those first wide‑eyed baby moments through to confident, capable swimming.

We teach swimming with kindness and care at the heart of our teaching, we notice the small details, celebrate meaningful milestones, and keep you connected through ongoing conversations about your child’s progress.

Prepare, Instruct and Praise

Our Prepare, Instruct, Praise philosophy is the backbone of how we teach swimming. It’s the difference between children developing confidence and skills in the water and resisting. This teaching approach results in children swimming independently earlier, and doing so in a safe, welcoming environment.

PREPARE. We prepare children, we teach swimming, by teaching them to accept water. When this is achieved, they can embrace water! We spend lots of time preparing babies and young children to feel safe and comfortable. And yes, then the playing, splashing, and giggling begins!

INSTRUCT. We teach swimming by explaining what to do through verbal direction, then show them what to do by gently manipulating their bodies to help develop the motion they’ll need to master the swim-skill. We teach swimming by guiding them through the process with abundant support, kindness, and assistance.

PRAISE. We celebrate every success. Learning to swim is a fun adventure! After every new skill or attempt, we provide encouragement and recognition of their effort.
