About
Just keep swimming!
We are looking forward to running 2 weeks of 4-day Learn to Swim holiday intensives. All Learn to Swim holiday lessons are 45 minutes, except for Stroke Advancement lessons which run for 60 minutes.
30 minutes will be a classic Artemis Aquatics swimming lesson (45 minutes for Stroke Advancement). Classes will then have a holiday exclusive, 15-minute specialisation. This holiday season, our advanced levels will focus on propulsion in the water. We will be refining the freestyle pull and learning to catch the water. The idea of propulsion is when you pull your arm through the water when doing the stroke, this creates force and propels your body through the water. We will look at the importance of hand position and kick as well as body position to remain streamlined.
For our youngest swimmers, we will emphasize body position and side breathing in freestyle. We will work on remaining balanced and streamlined on top of the water. We will focus on not dropping the arm when swimming and reduce drag in the water. These skills are crucial for both survival and understanding water dynamics.

Learn to Swim Assistant
Holly has had a lifelong passion for water, with her journey into the swimming world beginning before she could even talk. Becoming a swimming teacher at the age of 15 and competing since the age of 7 has built a deep connection to the sport. Holly’s experience spans teaching children of all ages across America, Ireland, and now back home in Australia.
Watching students and adults grow in confidence around water and improve their skills with each session brings Holly immense joy. For her, swimming is not just a skill; it is a vital life lesson that everyone, regardless of age, should have the opportunity to embrace.
As an AUST Swim qualified teacher, Assessor, and pool Lifeguard, Holly aims to nurture self-assurance and value in every child, regardless of their background or abilities.
Holly brings this commitment to Artemis Aquatics, where she enthusiastically serves as the Learn to Swim Assistant.
