Bayswater Swim School ...
Learning to swim is a life skill for your children which promotes health, safety and recreational enjoyment for the rest of their lives.
Parent and Baby Program
With an emphasis on water familiarisation, our aim is to introduce basic skills and water safety through enjoyable experiences and routines. This program follows child development and key strands including 'getting wet', 'keeping balance', 'breathing', 'basic kick and arm action', 'going underwater' and 'staying afloat'. Classes are conducted in the Hydrotherapy Pool which is heated to 33-34 degrees, providing a safe and comfortable learning environment.

Note: some classes require parental assistance.
