We can't thank you enough for being such a crucial part of our "Swim Into Summer with Kids Alive" initiative. Your commitment to teaching your children about water safety and fostering a love for swimming is truly inspiring.

Our goal is to make sure that every child under 5 in Australia learns swimming as an essential life skill, setting them up for a fun and safe summer in the water. We're here to make learning about water safety as engaging and easy as possible for everyone.

Swimming lessons are a great investment. Not only are you providing your children with a skill for life, but you are also giving them an advantage in the areas of social, emotional, physical and intellectual development. Learning to swim should follow progressive teaching and learning systems. Swimming skills are broken down into small and achievable steps and then slowly built upon. The learn to swim process follows the basic progressions of water familiarisation, breath control, submersion, floating and propulsion.

Remember all children will progress through the learn to swim process according to their individual readiness. Always provide positive praise and encouragement as your child is learning to swim. If you haven’t already, today is the day to join your local swim school and give your child a skill for life.

We have 5 fantastic lessons covering water familiarisation, breath control, submersion, floating and propulsion.
