We offer our swimmers dry-land classes as it highly benefits their swimming.

Squad Progression

Moving Squads
Unlike learn to swim whereby kids may progress a lot faster through the different levels, squads progress within their squads and could remain in the same squad for months or even a year depending on the kids attendance and effort put into each session. Please feel free to chat with your child's coach to obtain feedback on their progression.
