Learn to Swim

Learn. Achieve. Survive.

INFANT PLAY

3-6 months

Our early swimming program introduces little ones to the water in a safe, fun way, focusing on bonding, confidence, and positive first experiences.

SEAL PUPS

6-24 months

This is the first stage of our learn to swim program. It builds the foundations for independent swimming, with gentle submersions, floating, kicking, and paddling. Sessions stay fun and supportive, helping children grow confidence and trust in the water.

TUGBOAT

2-4.5 years

This stage fosters independence and confidence with core skills like body positioning, swim-outs, floating, safe entries, and wall grabs - all taught in a fun, supportive environment.

MINI TINNY

2-4.5 years

This level strengthens independence and introduces swimming technique foundations. Children practice rolling and floating, safe entries and exits, and using kickboards, with key activities like swim–roll–float, torpedoes, back kicking, and assisted jumps. Sessions build confidence, coordination, and water safety while preparing for advanced skills.

TINNY

2-5 years

At this stage, children build independence and confidence while refining skills like torpedoes, rolling, floating, back swimming, and recoveries. Side breathing and freestyle arms are introduced, with boards used to practice strokes and strengthen water safety and awareness.

BLUE

5-12 years

This beginner level for children 5+ introduces swimming technique and reinforces safety skills. Swimmers practice swim–roll–float, torpedoes, back kicking with a board, safe entries and exits, wall grabs, and assisted jumps, building confidence, water awareness, and strong technique foundations.

BLUE 1

5-12 years

This level builds on earlier skills, focusing on independent swimming and developing a full side breath. Swimmers practice torpedoes, rolls, floats, back swimming, recoveries, board work, and freestyle arms, building technique, confidence, and independence in the water.

BLUE 2

5-12 years

This level focuses on building stamina and continuous freestyle while introducing backstroke. Swimmers refine skills over longer distances, emphasising streamline, breathing control, and efficient body position, working toward full independence and proficiency in freestyle, backstroke, and underwater streamline.

GREEN 1

5-12 years

This level builds endurance and stamina by extending to an 18m lane distance, introducing breaststroke kick, race techniques (dives, turns, flag swimming), and fins. Swimmers refine freestyle and backstroke, practice continual laps, and develop underwater streamline, strengthening technique, confidence, and performance for advanced swimming.

GREEN 2

5-12 years

This is the last level of our learn to swim program, extending stamina to 25m lane distance, while refining stroke technique. Swimmers learn breaststroke arms, butterfly kick, and advanced race techniques (dives, turns, flag swimming), practicing sustained laps, underwater streamline, and the use of fins to build strength, efficiency, and confidence for advanced swimming.

Swim Fit

For confident swimmers continuing their journey beyond learn-to-swim.

SwimFit 1

Our first Swim Fit level develops stroke technique, fitness, stamina, agility, and endurance while fostering teamwork and discipline. Swimmers learn butterfly, refine race techniques, and master streamlining and breathing, building strength, coordination, and confidence in preparation for high-performance swimming. Sessions combine skill development with engaging activities, encouraging social interaction and a love for the sport.

SwimFit 2

This stage builds on advanced stroke development by focusing on speed, fitness, and endurance, while continuing to develop agility, stamina, and teamwork. Swimmers work on putting all previously learned skills together into a cohesive and effective swim, emphasising faster, more efficient strokes. Sessions are designed to keep swimmers engaged through fun, group activities, and social interaction, while maintaining a strong focus on fitness, technique, and performance.

Safety Week

Safety Week is a special week at SwimAway that occurs twice a year. Every lesson focuses on building essential water safety skills (more-so than our regular lessons). Across the week, swimmers take part in activities like rescues, roll-and-float techniques, and survival scenarios — all designed to prepare them for real-life situations in and around the water. We also add extra fun with things like the giant inflatable and visits from Sammy the Penguin, making safety both memorable and exciting for every child.
