People often have questions about our Learn to Swim Program. This page covers off the most common ones.
Babies can begin swimming lessons at WSAC from 6-months. Children aged 6-months to 1 year old participate in Little Wonders 1.
Learn more about our babies and toddler's classes here.
Unfortunately, due to the popularity of the Learn to Swim program, accommodating make up lessons is not available with limited class availability.
A parent or guardian will need to participate in the water with learners in Little Wonders 1 to Little Wonders 4.
If your child is in levels 01 and above, you won't need to be in the water with them. However, we are a Watch Around Water facility which means children under the age of 10 need to be actively supervised in and around the water at all times, including during lessons. The more supervision the safer your child will be.
For more information on Watch Around the Water see HERE.
