Book your free
swimming assessment
We offer free assessments for all new students to assess your child’s swimming ability. We then recommend the correct learn to swim level for your child. Assessments run for approximately 10-15 minutes. If your child is under 4 years of age an assessment is not required as they can enrol straight into an aged based infant class.
