Swimming and especially water safety activities are important life skills for any kiwi kid. We are surrounded by water in this country and are lucky to have access to aquatic facilities in all major towns and cities, so our children will be exposed to water from a young age. Because of this it is vitally important to provide our kids with aquatic education and awareness. Swimming also aids in the social, physical and intellectual development of our little ones.

Every child progresses at a different rate and factors such as having limited exposure to water, a fear of water, nervousness or shyness should be taken into account. Like any new skill, swimming needs to be practiced constantly for improvement to take place.
Our instructors will provide your child with constant feedback and correction as well as activities to practice at home to help this progression. Our program and lesson plans are structured to allow step by step progressions for our swimmers.
Year round swimming is encouraged as skills can be lost when taking terms off, and our intensive holiday lessons are a great tool to boost your child’s swimming progression with daily lessons.
Swimsation does not offer refunds for missed lessons.
We do however offer make up lessons for classes where we have been notified you will miss the class.
Please note make up lessons are only offered in the term that the lesson was missed and in time slots where we have spaces available.

Yes. Swimsation requires that parents/guardians of students is to remain in the facility for the duration of their child’s lesson. This is not only because it is safe practice to be watching your child while they are in or around water, but it also allows for quick and efficient changeovers between classes.
