Parent baby classes to introduce your little one to the joy of swimming. Morning classes for babies from 6 months to 3 years old.
Four age-groups available:
- Turtles (6 to 12 months)
- Penguins (12 to 24 months)
- Platypus (24 months to 3 years).
Please note, infant aquatics is not available at Scarborough Beach Pool.
Preschool programs run from 3 to 6 years.
This is the foundation phase, as young swimmers develop water awareness, confidence and independence in a class without a parent. They will progress through basic floating and recovery in the Minnows group to being able to swim 10 metres of freestyle in Orca. They will also learn a variety of basic rescues and water safety sequences.
School age programs run from 7 to 15 years.
RLSS Swim and Survive levels 1 - 15 (beginners to bronze rescue levels). All our school-age lessons follow the Royal Lifesaving Society’s swimming program. Swimmers will progress through the levels from beginners, to becoming competent and safe swimmers. Once they have mastered their swimming strokes they will work on more complex rescue skills and initiatives that can lead to them becoming safer around water.
Adult programs run from 16 years and older.
