Water is a big part of our life on the Sunshine Coast and Learn to Swim lessons should be a priority for every family. Swim Schools provide more than lessons on learning to swim. They provide education to children and their families about water safety including Pool Safety, Supervision, and Preparation. Children and families learn about having respect for water environments and teaching the ‘rules
of pools’. Parent education is an essential part of the program at Swim 1. Parents are actively involved during event weeks such as Swim Safer and Rescue Weeks and are able to learn about swimming safer with their child. We aim to provide a relaxed and enjoyable environment for your families. Starting swim lessons at any age provides benefits and the Swi m 1 program offers flexibility to adapt to all children’s and adults needs. The additional benefits when starting an infant in swim lessons are great. Infants in water have freedom of movement as well as the benefit of close body contact and touch. All of this stimulation encourages pathways in the brain and can help to encourage speech, co-ordination, balance and social relations. Another great benefit is water familiarisation from a young age. Children are more confident in the water, have greater water awareness and enjoy progressing with their swimming milestones. Swim 1 provides a Learn to Swim program focusing on Safety Skills and Fun. Swim 1 provides lessons for all levels from 4months of age through to adults. The program progresses from Water Familiarisation to Water Confidence, Big Swims and then Stroke Development. The Swim 1 program has been developed based on several important key factors. These include small class sizes, heated pool, qualified experienced mature teachers, current industry practice and children’s development. The Swim 1 program for all ages incorporates Swim Safer components which also relate to our beach lifestyle.
