(If you accessed swim lessons outside of whyalla, we would still love to hear your opinion and experience)

Question 1

Have you accessed private swim lessons for your child/ren

If yes, how many children and how many years?

Question 2

Was it easy or hard to get the lesson days and times that worked best for you?

Question 3

Do you think whyalla is big enough that it needs another swim school? Or do you think we only need one?
Why/why not?

Question 4

With current lesson availability most children can only access one lesson a week in many regional towns, but in the city,children can avcess more.
Do you think it would be good to see this availability grow to 2 or 3 lessons for children in Whyalla? Or do you think once a week enough?
Why/why not?

Question 5

How have you felt about the class sizes of your childrens swim lessons? Did you feel they were too big or small?

How many children do you think should be the maximum amount in a swim lesson?

With many swim schools not having the option of orivate lessons, would you choose or have chosen a private lesson over a class if you had that option?

Question 6

Do you stop swim lessons in winter because its too cold?

If yes, why?
And would you continue lessons if the pool was properly heated and there was a warm change area?

Question 7

If your child has never done swim lessons, is there something a swim school could offer or do different that would make you want to access swim lessons?

Question 8

What do you think is the worst thing a swim school or teacher can do when providing lessons?

Question 9

What do you think the most important thing a swim school or teacher should always do when providing swim lessons?

Question 10

Do you think Whyalla needs and would support a swim school with a heated pool and disability access, that had a hydrotherapy spa, could be accessed by different community, medical and disability groups and could provide, swim lessons for adults and children with different needs and for people to be able to access different water and aqua therapies?

Question 11

Please comment any other opinions, thoughts or ideas you may think might be relevant.

*ANNOUNCEMENT*
At Create A Splash our ethos is INCLUSION.
This means we create our lessons to fit the child in a way that means they can always be engaged and successful and we believe children should NOT have to be excluded from "mainstream" swim lessons wherever possible.
Growing up with Deaf Grandparents I have used sign language to communicate since I can remember.
Deafness never seemed like a disability to me, it just meant people needed to learn to sign.
At my Grandpas funeral I met my great aunties who were shocked that we could all sign to my Granny and I remember being shocked that as her sisters they couldn't.
Because there are numerous ways to communicate and everyone can learn to sign.
So imagine how happy I was to see that AUSTSWIM have now partnered with Deafness Awareness to train teachers to be able to implement easy methods to make learning to swim easier for children with hearing loss. Different communication methods do not just make life easier for deaf people but for ANYONE who finds communication difficult.
So I'm very honoured to be able to say I'm now a "puggles swim teacher" for children with hearing loss 🙏🥺💕 *pinkie*
