1. If your child accidentally fell into deep water, would they know how to save themselves? Sadly, drowning is the biggest accidental cause of death for under 5's in Australia. Here at Northern Stars, we are proud of our survival focused program - we teach Survival Skills FIRST to beginners and under 5's. 2. The levels in our learn to swim program are progressive and structured whilst being free from force or trauma. Children have ongoing assessments all term 3. Northern Stars instructors are trained to be attentive to your child's swimming technique & to correct their swimming faults. This technique focus produces swimmers with excellent style. People who attend school swimming carnivals often comment that they can pick the Northern Stars kids! 4. Our teacher to student ratios are low, starting with 3 to 1 in our preschool beginners with the majority of our levels being 4 to 1. This allows maximum practice and correction for all students. 5. Our indoor centre is a purpose built facility with teaching ledge, a water depth of 1.2m throughout for maximum teaching efficiency, high quality pool water filtered by Ozone, UV and low level chlorine, and hot showers, spacious change rooms and ample parking. (Did we mention we are attached to Bunnings which has seen lots of Dad's volunteer to bring the kids to swimming :)
