“They’re only 3… they’re too young to float by themselves.”

🤔 Think again.

We hear it all the time — “They’re too little,” “They don’t understand,” “They’re only a toddler.”

But give a child the right teaching, the right support and the right expectations, and you might be surprised by what they can actually achieve.

This little guy is just 3 years old and he can swim independently with great technique AND calmly roll onto his back and float by himself. 👏💦

That’s not just impressive.

That’s a potentially life-saving skill.

Because if he ever found himself in trouble in the water, he doesn’t need to panic or rely on someone else to tell him what to do.

He knows:

ROLL.
TO.
FLOAT.

And that is exactly why we don’t believe in putting limits on children simply because of their age.

Three is not “too young.”
Toddlers are capable.
And water safety skills shouldn’t wait.

Confidence is wonderful.

But skills save lives. 💙

I’m off to Bali in January to teach kids to swim 🏊‍♀️
So we have two final fundraisers planned.
One is the December op shop and the one I’m most excited about (and sad) is our amazing Teacher Maddie will soon be going on maternity leave to have her own little bub.
So first week back next Block we will have a guessing competition.
Again, I’ll be giving away a blocks worth of lessons for one child.
Enter as many times as you like.
Thanks Maddie for allowing me to use the birth of you child to raise funds 💙🩷🩷💙

⚠️ CONFIDENCE IN THE WATER CAN BE DANGEROUS.

That might sound strange coming from a swim school — but it’s something every parent needs to understand.

A child who LOVES the water, jumps in without hesitation and has absolutely no fear of the pool is not necessarily a child who can swim.

And that confidence can create a very dangerous situation.

If your child unexpectedly falls into deep water, can they:

💧 Turn themselves around and get back to the edge?
💧 Roll onto their back and float?
💧 Control their breathing and stay calm?
💧 Keep themselves above water?
💧 Get themselves to safety without an adult helping them?

If the answer is no, then confidence is not enough.

In fact, a confident non-swimmer can be at greater risk because they may enter the water without understanding their own limitations.

At Swim Stars, we don't just want children who are happy and confident in the water.

We want children with skills.

Skills to react.
Skills to float.
Skills to find the edge.
Skills to get themselves out of trouble.

Because looking like a confident little swimmer from the side of the pool means very little if they don't know what to do when suddenly nobody is there to catch them.

❤️ Confidence is wonderful. But confidence without survival skills can be dangerous.

Teach them to love the water.

But more importantly, teach them how to survive in it.

💙 Why We Sometimes Ask to Change Your Class Time 💙

At Swim Stars New Norfolk, you may occasionally receive a message from us asking if you’re able to attend a different class time.

We usually do this when illness or other absences mean that a class has only one child attending. Where possible, we try to combine classes rather than running a class with just one swimmer.

Combining classes also gives us the opportunity to offer a spot to children who may have missed their regular lesson due to sickness, helping them catch up where we can.

We understand that changing times isn’t always possible, and we really appreciate everyone who is able to be flexible when we ask. These small changes help us make the best use of our available class times while continuing to provide quality lessons for all of our swimmers.

Thank you for your understanding and for working with us. 🧡💙
