Faq's
Absolutely not. Adults of all ages learn to swim with us every term. In fact many of our students come to us in their 30's, 40's, 50's and beyond, some having avoided the water their whole lives. Adults are often excellent learners because they are motivated and focused. It's never too late to gain a skill that could save your life and that you will enjoy forever.
Yes and you're not alone. Fear of the water is one of the most common reasons adults come to us. Our instructors are experienced in working with nervous beginners in a calm, patient and judgement free environment. Our small class sizes mean you'll never feel rushed or singled out, and you'll progress entirely at your pace.
We keep our classes intentionally small so every student gets individual attention from the instructor. This makes a huge difference compared to larger group lessons, you'll get real feedback, progress faster and feel more comfortable in the water.
Unlike traditional pools that use chlorine, our pool uses mineral water, a gentler water that's kinder to your body. You wont leave with irritated eyes or skin or smell of chlorine. Many students that previously avoided pools due to chlorine sensitivity find our mineral water soothing and a more pleasant experience.
It depends on your starting point and how often you attend, but most beginners are moving more confidently in the water after a term. Our program is structured so you can see clear progress at every stage, from feeling safe in the water, to floating, to developing your first strokes. There's no pressure to rush, and you move to the next level only when you're ready.
Just a swimsuit, goggles, a towel and yourself. If you're unsure what level to start at, just get in touch and we will have a chat to point you in the right direction. The hardest part is showing up for the first time, after that, most people wonder why they waited so long.
