Beating the Winter Blues

Learn to Swim Winter Holiday Program

Despite the chilly weather, we were thrilled to see many dedicated swimmers braving the cold to get in some extra lengths during the Winter Holidays. Our week-long program was structured to provide each level with a specific focus, ensuring targeted and effective learning.

Level 4, 5, and 6 students were challenged with mastering the dolphin kick and progressing their butterfly technique. Additionally, Level 4 students spent valuable time refining their breaststroke fundamentals. Our youngest swimmers were introduced to sculling and treading water in both shallow and deep water. These essential safety skills also helped them understand the catch in the water, which is crucial for improving technique across all four strokes.

Our teachers enjoyed spending extra time with the students, focusing on individual needs and providing tailored instruction. The smiles and giggles from our swimmers were a clear indication of their enjoyment and progress!

The Aquatics team is already planning our next program, aiming to bring out the best in our swimmers. Watch this space!

Welcome Back to Term 3

We are buzzing to be back, and we hope you are too! Our team has welcomed a couple of new staff members onto pool deck, and we are excited to see their knowledge and expertise flow into our program. Make sure to say hello and introduce yourself if you see any new faces—our team is a friendly bunch.

Keeping up with swimming lessons through the winter months is crucial for maintaining and building on the skills your child has been learning throughout the year. Consistent practice will lead to great results, and we are here to support your child every step of the way in their swimming journey.

On that note, Saturday mornings are still relatively quiet within our program. If you’re looking for a nice, relaxed Saturday morning activity inside our warm pool deck, we would love to see you there. Contact the Aquatics team to secure your Saturday spot. Less noise, more hands-on deck, and more space!

Let’s dive back in (only in lanes 4-6) and see where this term takes our students.

We will see you poolside!
