What class should I book for my child?

Booking the right class for your child is super important because it sets the foundation for how confident, comfortable, and happy they feel in the water.

The right group helps them learn at their own pace, build skills safely, and enjoy every moment. When a child feels supported and understood, their progress grows naturally — and so does their love for swimming.

Our duckling classes are for pre-school children (aged 3-5 years old).

Your child doesn’t have to have any previous lessons to attend these classes.

To be able to book this class your child must have achieved their stage 4 badge.

This class is structured to guide your child as they advance to Stage 5 and Stage 6.

These classes are for beginner swimmers. Children must be 4 years +.
