Beginner Level
Ideal for non-swimmers or those lacking confidence in the water. Held in a 0.8m shallow pool, this class focuses on basic flotation, movement, and relaxation. Progression to Improvers is recommended once comfortable.
Improvers Level
For swimmers able to float and glide on front and back. In a 25m pool (1.0m depth), you’ll develop front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke, with a gradual introduction to deeper water.
Improver Plus Level – NEW
Designed for swimmers who are comfortable out of their depth and ready to progress beyond the Improvers level. Participants should be able to tread water, swim 15 metres front crawl with breathing and swim on their back, with a basic understanding of breathing techniques — technique does not need to be perfect.
The course will focus on improving stroke technique, breathing, confidence and endurance, helping swimmers progress towards the Deep End level.
Deep End
For swimmers looking to refine technique and build endurance. In a 1.8m pool, the class covers stroke improvement, breathing, diving, tumble turns, and introduces butterfly, along with structured training drills.
