Our Programs

All of our programs are run year-round at our indoor centre in Russell Vale. Our pool is 18m long and heated to a comfortable temperature of 32 degC. ​Our indoor swim centre in Russell Vale proudly offers a state of the art Ozone Swim water purification system. This environmentally friendly system significantly reduces the amount of chlorine required making it a much gentler in-water experience - and fantastic for children with sensitive skin.

StarBabies (4 months - 3 years)
Our StarBaby lessons are a new innovation in infant swim classes and are age based, but cater to more advanced babies within each level. Lesson activities are all skill based but use a mixture of activities, songs, and water safety and survial exercises without force or trauma - with classes 30 minutes in duration.

Preschoolers (3-5 years)
From the age of 3, children are eligible for our preschool program, where they will enjoy joining a class with 2 or 3 other children, and taught by one of our qualified instructors. Our preschool swimmers begin by learning to comfortably submerge in the water and about their own buoyancy through relaxed floating.  With drowning being the biggest killer of Australian under 5's, our pre-school lessons include a range of survival skills to help them recover if they ever experienced an accidental fall in.  As they gain confidence, children build on these skills to develop a strong kick, freestyle arms and eventually, bi-lateral breathing and back and breast stroke.

School Aged
Our school aged program boasts a progressive curriculum based on the 4 elements of swimming - float...kick..  arms...breathing. Our swimmers learn confidence, correct technique, stamina and speed in the four strokes as they progress through our levels.  Swimming is a fantastic way to develop their strength & fitness, allow them to make new friends and to strengthen their life long love of water. Learning to swim well is a gift for life, which will allow them to experience many exciting adventures in and around water as they grow through their teenage and adult years.  

​Mini-Star Squads & Teen Fit
Our Star Mini-Star Squad program consists of 3 squad levels to further refine technique whilst improving their endurance, stamina and speed. We can help your children get school-carnival ready, & our squad program also includes special stroke clinics, holiday racing clinics, cool safety week challenges, and social race nights.  Swimming is fitness, friends and fun!  Our Teen Fit classes are a combination of squad and fitness drills and more suited to older teens who want to swim for fitness and enjoyment (aged 13+).
