The Swim and Survive program, designed by the Royal Life Saving Society Australia, is a broad, balanced program, consisting of swimming, water safety, and survival skills in preparation for a lifetime of safe activity in, on or near the water.
The program consists of three stages:
Wonder, Courage, and Active.
Using play and song, the Wonder program encourages exploration in water, reduces fear while building trust, confidence, stimulates learning, and most importantly allows enjoyment. Each lesson is structured to ensure learning skills are age appropriate, and challenging.
Swim & Survive Courage is about water confidence and aims to ease the transition from parents being in the water to the child being in on their own.

With our Wonder and Courage programs, expect to get wet and have lots of fun, as parents/carers are in the water with the child in these classes. Being relaxed and happy yourself will help your infant be happy and relaxed also.
During our Active program we ask that parents remain outside in our viewing area, located in the foyer. We find that children concentrate better without their parent in the same room. If there are any questions or problems you would like to discuss, please feel free to approach the counter staff. Remember lessons are only 30 minutes long and any interruptions with instructors will lessen this time.
Be patient with your child’s progress. Cautious children need extra time to adjust to the pool environment. It is perfectly normal for children to be wary of new people and situations.
Arrive early and become acquainted with the pool and surroundings so that you will not feel flustered or rushed. If you are relaxed and positive, your child will feel more calm and secure and lessons will be more successful.
Do not advance into the pool until instructed by a member of staff. We do not encourage those in our swim programs to be in the water for longer than the lesson. This avoids infants/children from becoming cold and restless during the lesson.
It is strongly recommended that all infants/children have been immunised. Children should not attend lessons if they have any of the following symptoms: Fever, Cold, Ear infection, Diahorrea, Vomiting etc.
It is a requirement that babies wear waterproof nappies/bathers. Choose a swimsuit with snug legs. NO NAPPIES (except waterproof ones, eg “Huggies Little Swimmers”) are allowed in the pool.
