School Aged

The Aquatots School age program welcomes children from their first exciting day of kindergarten right through to 12 years of age. We create a supportive environment where every swimmer can flourish.

We group children by swimming ability, not just age. This way, each child learns with peers who have similar skills and confidence. Our program has improved over the years. We teach children to use their natural buoyancy. This helps them build real confidence in the water.

We recognise that every child brings their own unique pace and learning style to the pool. Our award-winning instructors create each session to maximize your child's swimming time. They create momentum that leads to steady, satisfying progress.

Book Information Session

Dolphin 2 swimmers have mastered unassisted floating on both front and back, and they're ready for the thrill of moving through water. This level teaches kids about propulsion. They learn effective kicking techniques and underwater pulling movements. Also, they explore the basics of controlled breathing.

We introduce all four strokes at once. This lets each child show their natural strengths. Some kids surprise themselves by loving strokes they didn’t expect. We support every swimming style at this key stage.

To graduate from Dolphin 2, kids must swim confidently on their front. They should roll smoothly to their back while using proper breathing. Finally, they need to move on their back with control.

These dynamic 30 minute sessions keep children engaged and progressing.

Book Information Session

Dolphin 3 celebrates kids who have strong breath control. They can swim confidently on their front and back. This exciting level introduces the fundamental techniques for freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke.

Your child will discover how to coordinate arm and leg movements into fluid swimming motions. We encourage strong arm strokes. They help create smooth, efficient movement in the water. This is key to confident swimming.

Graduation from Dolphin 3 occurs when kids can swim basic freestyle using rolling breath and backstroke with a good body roll. They also need to jump in and perform a self-rescue onto their back. Natural breaststrokers will showcase their breaststroke skills as part of graduation requirements.

Each engaging 30 minute class builds skills progressively.

Book Information Session

Dolphin 4 welcomes children aged 7 to 12 years who've mastered basic freestyle and backstroke. This level refines their technique. It introduces proper side breathing and polishes their backstroke to competition standards.

Natural breaststrokers will perfect their timing at this stage. We continue developing breaststroke and butterfly for all students. This prepares them for the final levels of our comprehensive program.

Mini Dolphin 4 creates a special space for our 5 to 7 year old swimmers who've reached this skill level. Younger achievers learn with peers their age. This helps them feel comfortable and grow better. When Mini Dolphin swimmers turn 7 and haven't met graduation requirements, they easily move to the Dolphin 4 group. This way, they can keep learning with kids their age.

Graduation needs you to show good technique in freestyle and backstroke at the right distances. If you are a natural breaststroker, you must also perfect your timing over distance.

These skill building 30 minute sessions create confident, capable swimmers.
