Our Classes

At Starfish Swim School we offer classes for all ages

from 6months – 100years.

Ensuring proper teaching of the basic skills such as being comfortable with the face under the water, getting a good ‘feel’ for the water and having the correct body position are essential and will help later on when strokes are taught.
We also focus on teaching proper breathing technique from the start with a gentle but stern approach. This ensures that the child is relaxed and streamlined in the water, and does not ‘fight the water’ is very important.

Baby, Learn-to-swim, and Lessons and Stroke Development

6 MONTHS AND UP

This is a interactive sing-song way of teaching where mommy or daddy is in the water with little one learning together. It is a fun and secure way for your little one to become familiar with the water and learn to swim at an early age. Time in the water is also beneficial for growing bodies, helping them with strength and co-ordination.

With learn -to-swim we do not force but encourage through fun and innovative methods. Children are taught in small groups of usually 3-4 pupils per group and lessons are 30 minutes in duration. The teacher is always in the pool with the children ensuring they feel safe and secure.

We offer lessons for all levels, from the most nervous beginners to advanced stroke correction. Should you wish to compete in triathlons or dam swims, we can help get you fit and assist in fine tuning your stroke. Our adult classes are in the mornings, lunch time, and evenings until 7pm.

Stroke Development and Correction

3 YEARS AND UP

We have been told many times that you can clearly spot the Starfish Swimmers at the galas by their beautiful strokes.

The correct technique for stroke and preparation thereof are taught from day one with focus on streamlining, correct body composition, and proficient kicking and pulling to ensure maximum distance per stroke.

Squad Training

ALL AGES

Junior Squad sessions help build strength and stamina with continued work on technique and style.

The lessons are 30 minutes in duration and the results speak for themselves during galas and competitions.
