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.

We also accept returning Duck and Dive students and new students

(If your child is aged zero to 5 years, you need to go back to our baby swim school page)

What do we teach at the Academy?

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

* exceptionally we may teach beyond 8 years and also (for parents of our Duck and Dive baby program), adult foundation classes (nervous swimmers, buoyancy & breath control)

When do we teach?

• Mondays – Coming soon
• Tuesdays – 1715-2015
• Wednesdays – Coming soon
• Thursdays – 1715-2015
• Fridays – 1645-2015
• Holiday intensive classes – Coming soon

Why Duck & Dive Swim Academy?

• We DO NOT have large classes. With classes of more than 1, 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

How to book on?

We will need to know:

• current swimming ability
• swimming history (when, where, frequency)
• particular challenges or goals

If you can work within the times above, either send us on online enquiry or give us a call on 0437 400 300 (no SMS) and we’ll check on the availability.

Look forward to hearing from you soon!
