Special bonus within a 10-week-course: Our Water Safety Week

Our Water Safety Week is a special week included in our 10-week-courses (in week 9) which is open to the whole family: parents, siblings, grandparents and friends are welcomed to join us in learning about the possible risks in and around the water and ways to handle dangerous situations. Constantly further developed, we offer a safety lesson which is on the highest standard. Adjusted to the children’s abilities and the courses we offer, it is another layer of being safer in and around water. There are many important rules for correct behavior, we want to teach the whole community. We provide further knowledge to parents and children about the awareness of dangers that can occur around water, survival knowledge, and basic rescue skills anyone needs to learn.

About the lessons

Learning how to swim is an essential part of Australian life. That is why one of our biggest goals at the Airlie Beach Swim Centre is that kids, even the youngest, learn to swim while developing a sense for danger and for responding to it in the right way. The earlier and the faster even the smallest children learn to swim and survive in water, the smaller the risk of drowning accidentally in the pool.

Our classes incorporate teaching principles from both the Royal Life Saving Society and Swim Australia. Airlie Beach Swim Centre has a unique development training plan from the 1st lesson to completion with high quality equipment to give your child rapid results. In this way, your child will quickly learn to swim and survive. Feel welcomed to come for a free assessment.

Early Childhood Swim and Survive

Furthermore, our trainers at the Airlie Beach Swim Centre are approaching children under 5 years of age in different ways: We adjust to the child’s ability of coordination, physical and psychological abilities. We have developed a training program which aims for a fast outcome, namely the ability to swim 15 metres on the front and back, to feel confident and not afraid in the water and, most important, to survive.Thanks to our program your children will be able to reach those abilities earlier. It doesn’t make sense to teach a child a 100% Olympic Stroke if it has not the above-mentioned abilities.

As we are Royal Life Saving Trainers it is in our highest interest to teach your child to be safer around water and swim and survive. We are not interested to teach them 6 meters of perfect Olympic freestyle and then drown! There are other milestones that need to be addressed first.

Ask us about it – we gladly give you detailed information on our program and how it works!

Discount: Twice week swimming lessons are discounted because we can work with your child towards the best and fastest outcome.

Learn to Swim ASAP – Includes Holiday Intensive Lessons

Furthermore this year, we offer “Learn to Swim Asap” which includes holiday intensive lesson. In these courses, we start with a holiday intensive week, in which we have sessions from Monday to Friday. The intensive lessons are a great startup to gain trust with the swim teacher and to get water familiarisation. Then we continue with twice a week swimming lessons in School Term.  Our courses are held in small classes of maximum three children. The goals are confidence in swimming 15 metres in Freestyle or Breaststroke as well as 15m Backstroke. It usually takes a child 25 swimming lessons to get those swimming abilities.

With the Holiday swimming offers you have the chance to ‘fast-track’ your child’s progress in the pool, all the while having fun in the water too! Providing the opportunity for intensive skill-building.

All our Teachers are certified Royal Life Saving Swim and Survive Trainers and having a current Working with Children Blue Card. Our Lessons are in heated pool, in a safe and professional clean environment

In case you cannot arrange to come twice a week, please contact us – casual lessons are available on request.

There are a lot of measures even the young ones can understand and learn:

• Danger: Learn not to jump in to rescue anyone
• Response: Learn to respond without putting you extra in danger!
• Send Call for help

Learn what you can do in that situation, we try to give awareness and to make them think independently what they can do without putting anyone else or themselves at danger!
