Yes we do have an indoor pool so we are able to offer year-round swimming lessons.

Yes we do!
We offer trial lessons in the week only for our Learn to Swim Program. You need to book via our ENROLL NOW. NB!! The office cannot do the trial booking for you nor can you reschedule a trial once booked. 

 
How often should my child attend swimming lessons per week?
We recommend most students attend one to two (if your budget allows) swimming lessons per week. Skill development requires regular practice. So the more your child swims the better.

It is common for most children to cry. This is a normal reaction. Our teachers are highly trained in these situations. Pulling a child out of swim lessons due to crying is never a recommended course of action. Usually the crying phase is much harder on the parent than it is on the child. If your child is crying, it is best to get out of the line of sight from your child so they are able to better focus on the instructor.

Our teachers have made a commitment to their teaching days. However it is important to remember that they also get sick, need to attend important meetings, family obligations etc. We have made sure that when a teacher is off, that our stand in teachers are correctly & properly briefed to continue where your teacher left off.

Please do not begin our program unless you fully intend to finish. We do everything we can to make learning to swim an enjoyable experience for your child. Many children take a few weeks to work through their feelings about the water. It is a new environment where they are being asked to work very hard without Mom or Dad. Some amount of resistance is to be expected during the learning process. Please remember that it is not learning how to swim that's fun, but knowing how to swim that's fun.

Anytime! Our Fins and Flippers program runs throughout the year. Click on ENROLL NOW and start the process of joining the Fins and Flippers family.

Our swim lessons are available for children 6 months and up. No matter what age your child is, it is NEVER too late to start swim lessons. Our lessons are designed to teach children of all ages and abilities.

We recommend year-round swimming lessons for children because the continuity helps them retain more knowledge for a longer period of time. With the gap created by seasonal swimming lessons, children tend to regress from their swimming skill level; this ultimately results in having to refresh those skills before they can build new skills.

Each swimming lesson is at least 30min long.

Our pool is chlorinated to provide your child with the optimal hygienic environment.

Yes! All our pool is heated to 33 degrees all year round. Our pool is enclosed and heated...

Yes, we have heaters over our baby changing areas. These are turned on during the colder months. If they are not on, please ask one of the Fins and Flippers Coaches/ Staff to turn it on.

Yes there are Hairdryers, bathrooms and changing cubicles.
