Learning to swim is a skill for life
Our classes are tailored to suit a range of special needs. We will cater for the needs of individual swimmers and you can choose from a variety of lessons types:
- Group Lesson
Where possible we aim for integration into mainstream classes. We believe there are many additional benefits if inclusion can be achieved.
- Private Lessons
Where a private lesson is necessary, we provide a one on one swimming lesson. The teacher will focus exclusively on your preferences for activities including swimming and stroke development, aquatic exercise, movement in water and relaxation. Carers welcome at no extra charge.
- Casual Swimming
You can also choose to swim casually at your leisure using our equipment to enjoy all of the benefits that water has to offer. Please contact the pool for casual swimming hours
Group and private lessons available at Unanderra and Towradgi
