OUR SWIMMING TEACHERS
Our swimming lessons in Mackay begins with survival skills including paddling, back floating & rotation and kicking, when your child feels confident & independent in the water we move onto freestyle and the progressions encompassing correct technique & bilateral breathing, we then move to backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. Only when a child can consistently and confidently perform skills, are they moved to the next level.
Our teachers are Austswim Qualified and undergo both internal and external training, keeping staff up to date with current methods and techniques, ensuring we stay well above industry standards.
We teach without the use of swimming aids, floaties etc. This helps to promote confidence, independence and strength in the water. Our classes are limited to 4 students in our learn to swim program.
