Pre School Classes
PRE SCHOOL PROGRAM
Our Pre-School program caters for beginners to stroke tuition from 3 years. We offer small, graded groups with a maximum of 4 children to ensure your child receives the individual attention they deserve.
PRE SCHOOL PROGRAM
As your child graduates into our preschool swimming program, it’s important to see their swimming journey as a long-term commitment. Living on the Central Coast, surrounded by beaches and waterways, the ability to swim isn’t just a sport – it’s a life-saving skill.
OUR PROGRAM
As your child progresses through our program, their development is now skill-based, ensuring they master each essential component before moving forward. Swimming is a lifelong skill, and getting each piece right – technique, endurance, and water safety – sets them up for success. Consistency is key, and our structured approach ensures they build the confidence and ability needed to become strong, safe swimmers. You can track progress and celebrate achievements through the SimplyPortal app, keeping you engaged in their journey every step of the way!
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of the Pre-School program at 5 Star Swim Schools is to encourage skill development in a happy, caring and safe environment. Beginners are encouraged to experience their own sense of buoyancy and propulsion by developing independence over very short distances.
This enables each child to progress at their own pace and allows them to realise their potential and limitations.
WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL LEARN
Our program utilises songs and games specifically designed to encourage:
- Breath control – the key to successful, confident swimming
- Flotation and buoyancy, independent of artificial assistance
- Propulsion
- Safety techniques
- Swimmers are encouraged to engage in “safe play” on the platforms or ledge during the lesson. This freedom to experiment and challenge their own limits provides the perfect opportunity for developing self awareness and confidence in the water. Happy faces, laughter and lots of noise are the norm in our program
- Freestyle and backstroke are taught once competent and efficient swimming skills have been developed. With the emphasis on perfect technique, swimmers are taught in a fun, age appropriate environment and will develop skills to give them a solid foundation for many years to come
