AQUA FITNESS

All ages and swimming capabilities can be comfortable learning to swim in our 15m heated pool. As well as private tuition, we have a range of group classes to teach your children pool safety from any age.

In this program, you will interact in the water with your child under the guidance of our Newcastle/Lake Macquarie instructors. Our Goldfish students learn awareness and confidence from an early age in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. Using patience, practice and repetition, we will help your child progress to Pre-school Learn to Swim.

Our seahorses have already developed confidence in the water and are ready to interact in a class environment. Your child will learn the correct kicking, stroke and breathing techniques, as well as water safety skills. Seahorses will progress to freestyle during the program. We encourage regular participation to maintain confidence, co-ordination, strength and skill.

The Starfish program is open to all abilities from beginners to advanced. Children in our Starfish group will learn water safety skills, breathing techniques, stroke development, progressing to freestyle and backstroke.

As a Tadpole, your child will learn all strokes and how to improve their breathing and stamina. They will also see a boost of confidence in the pool, becoming a member of a team for when they progress through to squad level.

Under the positive guidance of our Newcastle/Lake Macquarie swim instructors, children in the Swordfish group will fine-tune all of their strokes, as well as improve their technique and overall fitness in preparation for the 25m pool.

If you're unclear as to which group your child belongs in, don't hesitate to contact our Newcastle swim school. We also look after the needs of Lake Macquarie locals.

Once your child has learned the essential basics of swimming, they will progress into squad coaching in our heated 25m pool. Squads will keep your child's swimming skills up-to-date. For enquiries, please contact our Newcastle swim coaches today.

As a Mackerel, your child will work on stamina and fitness to adjust to the new 25m distance, whilst refining stroke technique, under the guidance of our encouraging Newcastle/Lake Macquarie squad coaches.

Our Dolphin class caters for students who have a basic understanding of all 4 strokes. The aim for students in this squad is to improve stamina and fitness, as well as refine technique and skills on all strokes.

Our Junior Squad students work confidently and effectively to improve stroke efficiency, whilst increasing stamina and fitness by attending regular training.

Our Sharks squad class caters for students who are competent in fitness and technique in all four strokes. Our Nationally Accredited squad coaches will aim to guide students to improve and maintain fitness with regular training. We encourage all students to work hard and achieve their goals!

• Perfect for all fitness levels—beginners to advanced
• Great for weight loss/fat burning
• Excellent cardio-respiratory exercise
• Increased aerobic endurance
