Learn to Swim
Learning to swim is one of the most essential life skills you can give your child, not only as a safety measure in the water but also for long-term health benefits. We provide Learn to Swim classes throughout the year that cater for every stage and age in their development.
Children are placed into levels that best suit their abilities based on a free assessment conducted upon registration, helping them progress faster while receiving appropriate levels of instruction.
Guppies (3 to 5-year-olds) and Sea Turtle levels focus on building technique while imparting key fundamental aquatic skills, such as being comfortable in, under, around and breathing the water; body balance; breathing techniques and body mechanics – foundational skills necessary for future, more advanced strokes.

Water Safety
Our water safety classes aim to prepare children to safely participate in any aquatic activity, from home swimming lessons or trips abroad. They learn how to stay safe around water, recognise drowning warning signs, and understand the significance of always acting water smart.
Swimming and water safety are part of the Victorian curriculum from Foundation to Year 6 levels, so the Victorian College Athletic Association (VCAA) has created sample activities for school students to use in their programs as well as online interactive tools and resources for teachers.
Students are encouraged to maintain active lifestyles for life and embrace physical activities like swimming as lifelong pursuits, enjoying its challenge and adventure. Students should become confident swimmers capable of swimming 50 metres. To assist students achieve these standards, the Australian Swimming Federation has created national minimum standards that must be achieved for primary and secondary school students in Australia.
All children, including babies, should always be under close and active supervision when near water – whether at home, during a holiday or when swimming with friends – whether at home, on holiday or while swimming with others. It’s vital that no amount of supervision can replace this and that parents shouldn’t leave their children unattended around water even if they are excellent swimmers.
Adult Classes
Our adult classes run weekly to coincide with school term times, with class sizes of four or six per class for learn to swim classes and two per class for stroke improvement lessons. Learn to swim classes are tailored towards adults who have never or limited water confidence and build water safety skills like floating, kicking, overarm recovery and streamlining. Once comfortable in the water you can move into our Stroke Improvement lessons that focus on maximising freestyle and breaststroke techniques.
Baby Classes
Introduce your infant or toddler to water at an early age can help them build confidence and trust while creating a firm foundation for aquatic education in later years. Studies indicate that those taking swim lessons develop more muscle development in both arms and legs, as well as greater brain growth and spatial awareness.
Our baby classes are conducted in small groups to ensure each child receives individual attention from both parent/caregiver co-teachers in the pool, and are specifically designed to progressively build your child’s water confidence. Lessons focus on essential aquatic skills like safer entries and exits as well as floating techniques – providing your little one with a great first experience with swimming! These sessions make an excellent introduction to aquatic activity.
Swimming classes Cranbourne utilize proven early learning techniques like colour, song and play to make every class engaging and fun for your baby. Caregivers also have the chance to spend quality time with their infant, strengthening bonds between themselves. Young infants tend to feel more at ease in water than they have been since birth; making now an excellent time for taking them swimming!
Once your child has graduated from Superbabes classes, they may move on to our Baby Splash sessions which introduce water independence without parental in-water supervision. Our Baby Splash instructors set strict criteria that must be fulfilled for progression to each new level; your instructor will determine this decision.
