10 Level Program
Our 10 level SWIM & SURVIVE program is a comprehensive program designed to take your child to an advanced swimming standard. We are heavily focused on developing the formal stokes, enabling your children to competently swim different strokes over long distances.
Lifesaving and Survival skills are incorporated as part of our ongoing program ensuring the children are very safe in the water. This includes being able to tread water, swim in clothes and be aware of potentially hazardous situations, as well as many other safety based skills.
