Do I need to get in the water with my child?

The age of your child will indicate if you will need to join them in the water. 

Under 3 years old:

Yes, we need an adult in the water with the swimmer.

This person does not need to be a parent, or the same person each week (although that is preferred for skill development). The adult should be reasonably comfortable in the water as well, but if you aren't please chat with us first so we can help support you until you gain confidence.

3 years and over:

No, children 3 years and older are in the water without their parent or carer with them. 

If you are worried your child won't be able to swim without you - that's okay, we have that scenario often. We can make special plans and arrangements to assist a nervous swimmer, just chat with us before your first lesson so we can plan with you for success!

See you at the pool!
