BABIES CLASSES
DROPLETS
Babies from 6 months-3.5 years old. These classes are about water familiarisation using toys and songs to encourage a fun and happy atmosphere. Babies are introduced to floating, submersion, propulsion, kicking and other important swimming skills.
The earlier these skills are introduced, the better your child will perform when the time comes for them to begin lessons without parents/carers in the water.
Learn more about our Droplets Baby Classes.
BABY SHARKS PROGRAM
Baby Sensory classes (Baby Sharks Program) for 3-6 month olds. This is ideal for a special day out for mums groups and for new parents keen to get started with their new bubs.
NOTE: This program runs for 5 weeks from the middle to the end of term. This is a FREE Program, however, spots are limited. Learn more about Baby Sharks Program.
LEARN TO SWIM
Our Learn to Swim classes are designed to extend the skills needed for water safety, confidence and basic independent swimming abilities. We focus on water awareness and safety in every lesson in every level. Our teachers use toys and games to encourage skills. While our swimmers are learning the basic fundamentals, our kids swimming lessons are still fun and a positive experience. Our weekday morning classes are designed for pre-school aged children from 3 years.
Our afternoon level classes are for school aged children who are still working on foundation skills, as well as more advanced techniques for those who are working towards junior squads.
ADULT LEARN TO SWIM
Our Adult Learn to Swim programs at BEST Aquatics have grown! We have the following options:
- Adult Learn to Swim “during the week”. These are Term-based classes. You do 30 minutes per week at the same day and time that have been scheduled for you for a full term (usually 10-weeks). You can book either semi-private (2 in a class) for $35 per person or private classes for $60 per person. Adult classes during the week are available from 8am-2pm Monday-Friday, as well as Wednesday & Thursday evening between 3-7pm
- Private Intensive Adult Lessons
These classes are offered at different dates throughout the year on Fridays and Saturdays. These classes are best suited to indivuduals who cannot commit to a Term program, and for individuals who are looking to FAST TRACK their learning. Private lessons only. $60 per 30-minute session. - Aquaphobic Swimming Classes
Coming Soon. These classes are focussed on helping teens and adults overcome their fear of water. Email expressions of interest to info@bestaquatics.com.au
HOLIDAY SWIM PROGRAMS
Our Holiday Programs
produce great results!
Intensive classes
are a great way to consolidate progress made during the term. They are also beneficial for those ready to move up a level or who have just moved up a level.
(Newcomers are welcome, but require an assessment to ensure placement in the correct level.)
Private Classes can also be booked
during the holidays! If you cannot commit to 5 consecutive days during the holidays, but would still like to have swimming lessons, why not try booking in for a private lesson with us?
Casual Babies Classes!!! A casual babies class is a single, 30-minute class that you pre-book. However, unlike our Term Babies Program, it is just a single class, no obligation to enrol for more classes. Casual Babies Classes are IDEAL for any parent wanting to experience a babies class without the long term commitment, or for the parent who can't commit to a term of babies classes due to work or other commitments.
Fun Activity Sessions This January we are going to schedule a few "fun activities" that kids can book into. These fun activities will run for 1-hr. Some of the fun activities are "water disco", "pool games" and "kids aqua aerobics!" Each fun activity session will finish with 15 minutes of "free play".
