Winter Swim Winter swim lessons = Summer safety πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈβ„οΈ

Think winter means pausing swim school? Dropping out causes kids to lose vital skills, fall behind peers, and wastes your hard-earned financial investment!

Our heated outdoor pool is actually the healthiest choice this season. Here is why:

✨ Fresh Air: Natural circulation eliminates trapped chemical vapours.
✨ Gentle Water: Our salt system uses fewer chemicals on sensitive skin.
✨ Immunity Boost: Outdoor acclimatisation builds resilience against seasonal bugs.
✨ Parent Comfort: No stuffy, overheated indoor pool rooms!

"But won't they get cold?" πŸ₯Ά
Not a chance! We heat our pools to a cozy 32Β°C. Instructors use high-movement routines to keep kids submerged shoulder-deep, trapping heat with swim caps.

Your Post-Swim Warm-Up Checklist:
1️⃣ Ditch the rashie: Wet rashies cause rapid wind-chill. Take them off instantly!
2️⃣ Go thermal: Swap to fleece-lined suits or neoprene vests.
3️⃣ Pack a deck coat: Heavy, fleece-lined swim parkas work best.
4️⃣ Wrap up fast: Use a thick towel the second they exit the water.

Drowning risks don’t freeze for winter, and recent floods show water hazards are constant. Keep your child safe, confident, and ready for summer.

I’m a huge Sharkskin fanβ€”all the instructors wear their rashies, and I’ve already picked up the Chillproof vest and long-sleeve top. If you need something to keep the kids warm this winter, their Junior range is definitely the way to go.

Sharkskin Rapid Dry longsleeve junior rashie and Sharkskin Chillproof junior shorts make for a great time out on the Briny! Keep your kids protected from UV harm and the cold with Sharkskin gear designed specifically for juniors.

Swim School Update: New Friday Classes & Sessions for Little Swimmers!

I’m excited to share some updates to our schedule to give everyone more flexibility!

β€’ New Friday Classes: To provide more options throughout the week, I’ve extended classes to include Fridays for the rest of the term. If these sessions are popular, we’ll keep them going permanently!

β€’ Sessions for Ages 3–4 & Novice 4+: New morning classes are now available on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 am. These sessions focus on vital safety skills and pool confidence, helping our "little swimmers" prepare for more advanced levels and school-aged swimming.

β€’ Morning Squad Reminder: A quick reminder that our squads run from 7:00 am – 8:00 am. Following the session, I provide cereal for breakfast and will es**rt the kids to the bottom school gate at 8:30 am.
