Water Confidence Classes
Water Confidence 1 – Starfish
6 months - 14 months
30 Minute Class
In the Starfish program, parents and carers are in the water with their child. Children develop awareness and confidence through play-based activities and repetition. Each activity introduces a basic swimming or survival skill, forming the foundation for progression through the Water Confidence program. This level focuses on positive water interaction, early movement and familiarity in a calm and supportive environment.
Water Confidence 2 – Seahorse
14 months - 2 years
30 Minute Class
Seahorse is designed for children who have already developed confidence in the water. This level builds on cued submersion, beginner and early survival skills. With the parent still in the water, instructors guide carers on teaching correct kicking technique, blowing bubbles and hidden water safety skills. Sessions remain fun and playful while encouraging greater participation and controlled movement.
Water Confidence 3 – Turtle
2 -3 years
30 Minute Class
Turtle is the final Water Confidence level and prepares children for the Learn to Swim program. With parents still in the water, children further develop propulsion skills, breath control and the ability to swim unassisted up to 1 metre. Water safety and survival skills such as back floating, streamlining and climbing out independently are reinforced, supporting growing confidence and independence.
