Why Marlins?
Thank you for choosing Marlins. We trust that your time with us will be positive and rewarding.
We strongly believe that all children will develop to their full potential through the positive guidance of our fully accredited, caring and professional swimming instructors. We cater for the individual development of each child and work with them through a sequence of skills tailored to their abilities and experience. It is important to us that all children in our program feel safe, secure, happy and are challenged to learn.
A child’s first experience with water should be an active and fun experience. We look forward to working with both you and your children to achieve the best aquatic experience possible. Swimming is not just a sport but a skill for life that can be enjoyed forever.
The Gentle Swim School
Gentle swim teaching is the positive and gentle approach to helping children get comfortable with the water and develop positive swimming skills.
By incorporating positive language and implementing gentle learning principles, we create a safe, positive environment in which children can explore and learn.
This positive approach teaches children at a pace which is compatible with their nature, allowing them to discover and explore the joys of swimming in a supportive environment free from fear or stress.
With this method it is not about achieving perfection, but rather learning the basics and feeling positive about taking part and having fun. Together with positive encouragement, safety measures in the water, and life skills such as listening, waiting for turns, paying attention and following instructions are emphasised. These positive qualities allow for long-term success in all aspects of life.
Our aim is to foster a lifelong connection with the aquatic world.
