Introducing: The Duck and Dive Kids Swim Academy!

The Swim Academy is the next progression for our little swimmers aged 5+ who have started school. (If your child is aged zero to 5 years, you need to go back to our baby swim school page)

At our Artarmon pool only.

What do we teach at the Academy?

• school age children 5 to 8 years *
• beginner through to advanced stroke correction

* exceptionally we may teach students beyond 8 years or carers of our Duck and Dive baby program requiring adult foundation classes (nervous swimmers, buoyancy & breath control)

When do we teach?

• Tuesdays – 1715-2015
• Thursdays – 1715-2015
• Fridays – 1645-2015
• Mondays, Wednesdays – Not just yet, but we aim to teach these days as soon as demand grows (be sure to give us an “expression of interest” if these are the only days you can do)
• Holiday intensive classes – Coming soon

Why Duck & Dive Swim Academy?

• We DO NOT have large classes. Our teachers will always aim to provide simultaneous movement for maximum practice time. Classes of more than 1 are often beneficial to the child’s progress for a variety of reasons BUT for a child that is only participating in a lesson for 10 minutes (at other schools we are often told!), it is costing the parent 3 times the fee for a half hour lesson! NOT with Duck and Dive!
• We offer class ratios of 1:1 and 1:2 predominantly. As your child’s skills and fitness progress, they will move up to a mini-squad class which still includes tuition and correction.
• Our teachers are exceptionally well trained, experienced, patient and teach “what is in front of them” rather than from a rigid lesson plan. They care about your child’s progression and you and your child will quickly trust in them.
• We are highly communicable as regards your child’s progress if you need to check on anything, you just have to ask us! This might be a few words at the end of lesson or a more in depth chat on the phone during office hours

What’s the cost?

• Base cost $35 per child, per half hour
• Private lessons double the cost
• Adult foundation – on request
