Our learn to swim lessons are run year-round, with the exception of a two week break over Christmas and the New Year period. In addition to our regular lessons, we conduct School Holiday Intensive Programs during school holiday period at selected Centre locations, where for a reduced fee, your child can receive intensive tuition each weekday. We run them 4 times a year (January Summer Holidays, Term 1 Holidays, Term 2 Holidays and Term 3 Holidays). The School Holiday Intensive Program produces significant results, regardless of the child's previous swimming abilities.
Squad training sessions continue throughout the year so please refer to our squad training schedule sent separately to all squad members.
Yes, all United Swimming teachers are fully qualified beyond the industry standard. United Swimming teachers and coaches complete an extensive in-house training program to teach with United Swimming teaching principles and guidelines. The United Swimming Teacher Training System ensures new teachers undergo 30+ hours of training, including class observation, online theory, supervised teaching and assessments before they get to teach their own classes. United Swimming teachers and coaches are all required to obtain a nationally recognised qualification issued by AUSTSWIM or Swim Australia prior to the beginning of their employment.
Yes. An extra lesson each week accelerates learning and our experience is that children who swim more frequently progress faster through each level. During the school holidays we offer our holiday intensive program, where for a reduced fee your child can receive intensive swimming tuition each week day. Check with our management team about booking additional lessons or to find out more about the holiday intensive swim lessons.
Attending swimming lessons year-round should be a top priority for parents/guardians. Winter is a great time to keep your children active, healthy and building on their swimming skills. Our experience demonstrates that having a long break in lessons may result in a loss of the skills and consistent year-round practice is crucial to avoid regression. Our pools are maintained at a constant temperature, so even in the cooler months, it is still comfortable in the water for swimming lessons.
