At the Murray Rose Aquatic & Fitness Centre, our Swimming lessons are designed to the public and are designed a lifelong skill to improve your child’s confidence in the water, build swim safety awareness and provide a pathway into aquatic sporting programmes such as Squads and Water Polo.
We believe that swimming is an essential life skill that provides children with the ability to participate in sport, and swim in the ocean, lakes and pools in a confident and safe manner. Our curriculum and framework are designed to maintain the highest standard of technical proficiency and water safety standards.

Our Programmes
Infants and Toddlers
-
Infants
This class is aimed at infants from 6 months old until they are able to walk with no support from an adult. An adult must accompany the child in the water at all times. Lessons focus on promoting early water confidence and basic motor skills. This Infant class is an introduction to water, water safety and communication in the water. The aim of the class is to help children understand and be comfortable in the water.
-
Toddlers
This class is aimed at toddlers who can walk with no support from an adult up to 3 years old. An adult must accompany the child in the water at all times. Lessons focus on promoting early water confidence, basic motor skills and introduce independent movement.
This is where they learn cues and gain an understanding of what to do if they are to fall in the pool outside of a Learn to Swim environment. They will learn safe entry and exits into the pool. Kicks and paddle arms are a good learning curve for when they move into a Pre-school class which is taught without an adult in the water.
Pre-School
-
Pre-School 1
This class is aimed at children aged 3 to 4 years who are new to swimming lessons and/or are not yet water confident e.g., unable to submerge their face confidently, float on their front and back unaided, and have aged out of infant classes. This is the entry level class starting with the basics of Learn to Swim.
Continuing with safe entry and exit into the pool, this is where they will be introduced to submerging and kicking on their front and back.
-
Pre-School 2
This class is aimed at children aged 3 to 4 years who have completed Pre-school 1. Children must be water confident e.g. able to submerge their face confidently, float on their front and back unaided. Introduction to kicking on their front and back with paddle / big arms will be taught.
Once the child has turned 5, they will move onto our Level programme into a Level 1 class.
