Swim School (Swimming Lessons)

Following the Swim & Survive program, our approach is two prong-water safety & stroke development. Our student's success is driven by our Austswim qualified instructors that focus on providing an environment that enables students to fulfill their swimming potential. Feedback is a critical element of learning and more recently, we have integrated structured feedback to hasten learning and skill acquisition.

From October 2011 we will be following the revised swim and survive program and the development of student through Swim & Survive is as follows:
