Preschool

Our preschool classes are a fun, skill-building program designed to develop water confidence, stroke foundations and independence in the pool for children aged 3–4 years. With the guidance of our qualified teachers, your child will progress through structured lessons that make learning to swim an exciting and rewarding experience.

The preschool years are a critical time for developing swimming skills and water safety awareness. Our preschool levels build on the foundations established in our Parent & Baby classes, transitioning children toward greater independence in the water while continuing to make every lesson fun and engaging.

What to expect

Preschool classes are conducted without a parent in the water, allowing children to build confidence and independence under the guidance of our qualified teachers. Each session is structured to progressively develop key swimming skills through age-appropriate games, activities and drills. Class sizes are kept small to ensure every child receives the individual attention they need to thrive.

Our levels

Our preschool program consists of three progressive levels, each building on the skills of the last.

Yabby

Yabby is the first preschool level where children begin transitioning toward greater independence from their caregiver. Aged 3–4 years, swimmers work on breath control, freestyle arm movement and building the confidence to move through the water on their own.

Fish

Fish classes continue the preschool journey, refining water safety skills and stroke technique for children aged 3–4 years. Swimmers develop stronger kicking, floating and basic backstroke in a structured yet fun class environment.

Eel

The final preschool level, Eel prepares children aged 3–4 years for the transition into school-aged lessons. Swimmers consolidate their freestyle and backstroke technique, practice safe water entry and exit and build the endurance and confidence needed for the next stage of their swimming journey.
