Our swimming classes and lessons run continuously and progressively all year round, going on breaks during public holidays and school holidays. Our baby & parent swim group classes as well as toddlers & kids swimming lessons are held on a weekly basis. Once enroled, your spot is kept for you in the same class time and day. This means you can join at any given time, and cancel by notifying us two weeks in advance. Our one on one / private lessons, adults swimming lessons, and therapeutic swimming lessons can be booked any time depending on availability. Whether it's a one-off, a group of lessons, or week by week arrangment, speak to us about your specific needs and we will organise your lessons accordingly. Gift vouchers are avaialble for any of our services.

Our swimming lessons and classes run for 30 minutes each. At times there are unique circumstances or arrangments where lesson duration may vary.

Our babies and parents swimming classes are not just your baby's lesson, these classes are designed to teach parents as well as their little ones! They are meant for the whole family unit and are a wonderful opportunity to strengthen parent & child bond, as well as learning new ways to respond to your baby and to help them develop their new skills in water. More than one parent in the water with their baby is encouraged though not a must! You could also alternate, or get another family memeber to join in and learn. We are flexible, and recommend catching each other up on what you have learned in your lesson so that the new discoveries can be practiced at home (if possible) or in the next lesson in the pool. Young toddlers will be accompanied by their parent durng the swimming lessons until they are confident, physically developed and independant, and have gained the needed skills to progress to a peer group class without parents. But parents are always invited to watch from outside the water :)

As the pool is indoors we do not need sun protection screen or even rashies. We actually believe that the more direct contact your baby skin's has with the water the better she/he will learn. Just make sure your baby is wearing a waterproof swim nappy in the right size to avoid any accidents escaping into the pool water. Woolworth and Coles sell disposable swim nappies, or you might also want to double up with a reusable swim nappy. We have swim nappies available for purchase at reception in our Alfred Cove centre.

We keep the pool temperature at a warm and comforting 34°C to 35°C. This is the recommeneded temperature for best comfortablility for very young babies in their swimming lessons, as well as the ideal warmth for Aquatic Therapy sessions. A core prinicple of our phillosophy and therapeutic approach is helping the nervous system to harmonise, engaging the parasympathetic nervous systemn in order to promote relaxation for the ideal learning mode, and for physical and mental restoration. Mainaining the pool temperature close to the body temperature helps to keep things comfortable, winter or summer. This is also why our pools are undercover to help us maintain the type of environment that is ideal to delivering our services.

Babies can often start as young as 10 weeks with us! Take a look at our Babies and Parents Swim Classes program here. We offer lessons to Toddlers and Kids (up to around 6yrs, dependng on their aquatic skills and needs) as well as adults of all levels, and to those of any age who experiance physical, mental or emotional challenges. Take a look at our Therapeutic Swimming Lessons option. Our approach is unique, therapeutic, individualised and holistic.

You are free to join and enrol at any time! If you wish to join a group class, we will match you with the most level and age appropriate group. Click here to contact us about enrolments!

Once we find you a suitable lesson time, we will send you our electronic Enrolment Form. It is easy to download, fill out on your computer, save as new file, and send back to us. No need to print and scan! Plus...saving some trees at the same time :) We also ask for your term's total to be paid in advance when you enrol.

Somatic Experiencing psychotherapy is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress disorders. This approach works to release traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma. In her work as an Aquatic Bodywork practitioner, Anat Juran became intested in helping and supporting her clients process their unresolved experiances and traumas that often naturally unfold during their water therapy sesions. Psychotherapy sessions with Anat can be booked wth or without Aquatic Bodywork sessions, and vice versa. Please contact Anat to discuss the best option for your specific situation.

One of the principle concepts that make up our teaching and therapy phillosophy. The Halliwick Concept is an approach to teaching all people, in particular, focusing on those with physical and/or learning difficulties, to participate in water activities, to move independently in water, and to swim. It is based on a belief in the benefits that can be derived from activities in water, and sets out the fundamentals necessary for their learning. These benefits include physical, personal, recreational, social and therapeutic aspects. The Concept has influenced hydrotherapy techniques and has been developed into specific therapeutic exercises.

A passive form of Aquatic Bodywork, ‘Water + Shiatsu’ = Watsu is an extremely gentle form of therapeutic massage conducted in warm water, combining elements of Zen Shiatsu massage techniques, including muscle stretching joint mobilisation and movements.

Healing Dance, developed by Alexander George, is a graceful and powerful form of aquatic bodywork, conducted in body temperature warm water, integrating elements of Watsu, Waterdance, Trager Work, movement and dance. This work is based on the philosophy that movements and touch are therapeutic, so the remedial process in the body is activated by experience of the ‘received dance’. The technique combines beautiful movements characterised by 3D spaciousness, flawless, freedom, lightness and creativity.

Waterdance (or “Wassertanzen”, the original German name) is a form of hydrotherapy performed in body temperature warm water, during which the receiver is gradually guided through a variety of movements underwater while wearing a nose clip. In a Waterdance session the surface movements rhythmically match with those underwater in harmony adjusted to each individual’s needs. Once the entire body is taken under the water, the head becomes supported by the water and the receiver’s body can be moved, stretched, and worked in literally unlimited ways. The underwater journey has been described by receivers as profound, graceful, delight, bliss, joyful, spacious, liquid movement, weightlessness, time suspension, nurturing, soothing, unconditional love and coming back to the womb.

We aim to keep our classes continuous and consistent for our students, which is why we don't offer make up lessons. If you are going to miss a lesson please do let us know so that the teacher can prepare their lesson accordingly. When you enrol to one of our group classes we hold the spot for you in the class exclusively so all lessons are payable in full and in advance regardless of absences on your part. We keep the groups small with only one class in the pool at a time, to ensure the ideal environment with controlled stimulation conducive to learning. If we have to cancel any classes on our end however, we will compensate you in a way that is fair.
