WHAT WE DO...
Our Learn to Swim Program for the children, is designed to link their natural enjoyment of the water with a program that enables the child to learn at their own pace, which is enhanced by small class numbers. Our facility allows us to practice a specialized deep water aspect in the lessons. This emphasis on deep water ability aims to reduce swimming fatalities, which are still one of the most likely causes for death in children under 5.
Learn to swim classes are conducted 6 days per week at the Splash-A-Bout facility located underneath Stockland Rockhampton in a heated environment of 32 degrees. The pool is 6m x 18m with depth ranging from 1m to 1.3m. For babies the mushroom pool is 2.5m x 4m with a 30cm shelf and a depth of 1.2m providing a small yet safe environment to fast track the fundamentals of our swimming program. It is recommended babies start lessons from 6mths of age. Classes are conducted with parents in the water to the age of 28 mths. Depending on ability classes are of 4 or 5 students maximum. Lessons start from $11.00. Enquires phone Splash on 49282244.
Upon graduating from Learn to Swim, your child will be able to complete 25m Freestyle with correct breathing, 25m Backstroke, 25m Breastroke, 15m Dolphin kick and perform safety and survival skills in deep water.
Graduates of the Learn to Swim Program move on to Mini Squads at either Splash or the outdoor heated 25m facility at Glenmore Pool. These classes develop all the skills of swimming in an organised and personalised manner. The core of the program is to allow your child to make significant gains in their swimming ability without having to train for hours every day. Graduation from Mini Squads means that your child is able to swim 200m continuous Freestyle with correct breathing and tumble-turns, swim 50m of Butterfly, Backstroke and Breastroke, and complete correct racing starts and turns.
From Mini Squads, Club Aquatic cater for performance squads of all levels, which give the swimmers the opportunity to participate in competitive swimming, challenging themselves to a level that they are comfortable with.
