The promise

What you can expect from Swim Academy.

Three things that hold across every term, every coach, every cohort. If we ever fall short on any of them, a coordinator will tell you before you have to ask.

01

A real lane progression.

Seven levels, every criterion written out. Your swimmer knows what they're working on today, what comes next, and what earns the move up.

02

Coaches who count strokes.

Pool-deck instructors who stay with the squad. You see the same coach in week one and in week twelve.

03

Termly assessments, on paper.

A written report each term: what your swimmer practised, what they've mastered, what's close, and what's next.

On the deck

Coaches who count strokes, hold counts, call plays.

Named instructors with real tenure. Each profile is signed off before publication. Photos land once each coach has approved.

The term shape

A typical term in Swim Academy.

The same shape every term: placement, rehearsal, mock, and a final assessment that families show up to. Calendar pinned to the family app from week one.

  1. Week 101

    Placement swim. The coach sets the level, agrees the goal for the term, and books recurring lane time.

  2. Mid-term02

    Skill check-in. A short written note via the family app, so there are no surprises at term end.

  3. Week 1003

    Mock assessment. Swimmers rehearse the criteria so the real one is a confirmation, not a test.

  4. Term-end04

    Assessment, certificate and a next-level preview, plus the invoice for the coming term.

By the end of his first term he could float on his back without me holding him. By his third term he was racing his older sister. The coaches actually know the kids.

Common questions

Swim Academy, in quick answers.

The questions families and learners ask most about this program. If yours isn’t here, the coordinator is one message away.

Level 1 is built for it. We start with floating supports, breath play and short submersions. Most water-shy children are blowing bubbles on their own within a few weeks.
