Learn to Swim
Welcome to our Learn to Swim program.
Our goal is to inspire all children to love the water and be strong capable swimmers.
ABOUT
Our unique Learn to Swim Program maintains a small student-to-teacher ratio to allow for more focused attention on each child’s development.
The program follows a customised and personalised approach to teach skills in a logical progression from any level of skill, confidence or experience. We call this our personalised Learn To Swim framework.
We ensure that all swimmers develop sound technique in all strokes whilst introducing the fundamentals of competitive swimming from an early age. Water safety and personal survival skills are an important focus at every level throughout the program.
The Learn to Swim program is available for school aged children (Prep – Year 12).
Within the framework, there are six progressive stages of learning and development which are founded on the type of swimmer who enters the program: Beginner, Learner and Swimmer.
From these three stages, we have created six levels which allow swimmers to transition into the next level efficiently and with confidence. These six levels encourage faster progression creating a sense of achievement amongst swimmers.

ABOUT OUR TEACHERS
A virtuous cycle of community
We value the importance of community, and creating a safe, welcoming and friendly environment. A majority of our teaching team are current and former Melbourne Girls Grammar students who share a passion in learning, giving back and caring for their younger sisters and brothers!
We believe that investing in ongoing teacher training and development through our mentoring program and in-house workshops is integral to their enjoyment, support and sense of belonging. Most importantly, we see the benefits of this paid forward in the swimmers taking lessons.
Led by our Head of Aquatics, Brad Harris, this ensures a graduated development pathway from learn to swim classes to our swimming club.
