Your Partner in Teaching Children Swimming Safety Tips

Active supervision is the cornerstone of water safety. At Austgrade Swim School, we emphasise the importance of vigilant monitoring, both in and around the water. Our experienced instructors ensure a safe and controlled environment during lessons, teaching children to respect water while enjoying it.

● In our classes, we maintain a low student-to-instructor ratio, allowing us to provide personalised attention and ensure children’s safety at all times.

● Our instructors are trained to actively supervise children in and around the pool, actively promoting a secure learning environment. Prevention is the first line of defence when it comes to water safety. Austgrade Swim School encourages parents to take steps to restrict children’s access to water when it’s not time for their swimming lessons.

● Secure pool areas at home with barriers, such as fences and locked gates, to prevent unsupervised access.

● Utilise door pool covers to add extra layers of protection.

● Reinforce the importance of not entering the water without adult supervision. Austgrade Swim School is committed to teaching children not only how to swim but also crucial water safety skills. Our structured programs cater to various age groups and skill levels, focusing on building a strong foundation in water safety.

● Our instructors emphasise essential skills such as floating, treading water, and breath control.

● We teach children to recognise the dangers of water and how to respond in case of an emergency.

● Lessons cover basic rescue techniques and how to call for help when needed.
