About This Program

Stroke development, aquatic fitness and water confidence

Our Swimming program delivers professional stroke coaching, aquatic fitness and water confidence in a structured, engaging format. Sessions cover stroke technique across all four strokes, swimming fitness, starts and turns, relay activities and water-based games. Available at schools with suitable pool facilities, risk assessment and agreed supervision arrangements.

All Four Strokes

Professional technique coaching across freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly — not just laps.

Aquatic Fitness

Swimming fitness and endurance developed through structured, progressive sessions with clear goals.

Water Confidence

A safe, encouraging environment that builds genuine confidence in the water for all ability levels.

Carnival Preparation

Starts, turns and relay activities prepare students for school swimming carnivals with proper technique.

What We Cover

Senior Track & Field

  • Freestyle — body position, catch, pull, kick, breathing pattern
  • Backstroke — body rotation, high elbow recovery, kick timing
  • Breaststroke — simultaneous arm pull, frog kick, glide phase
  • Butterfly — dolphin kick, simultaneous arm recovery, breathing
  • Starts — dive entry, streamline, breakout stroke
  • Turns — tumble turn, open turn, push-off and streamline
  • Relay activities and water-based fitness games

Session Times

Flexible Scheduling

Early Morning

7:30am – 8:30am

Start the day in the pool with focused stroke coaching before the school bell — energising and efficient.

Early Afternoon

3:00pm – 4:00pm

Ideal for families who need a slightly later pick-up — students swim straight after school while parents finish the work day.

Late Afternoon

4:30pm – 5:30pm

Perfect for families who want their child to have a break after school before heading into the pool.

Coaching Methodology

Technique in Depth

We don't just run drills — we explain the mechanics behind every skill so students understand what they're doing and why. Click each section to explore the coaching detail.

Freestyle is the fastest and most efficient stroke. We teach the four components — body position, catch, pull and kick — as separate skills before combining them, so students can identify and fix their own weaknesses.

1

Body Position & Rotation

A flat, horizontal body position minimises drag. The hips should be at the surface, not sinking. Body rotation (rolling from side to side with each stroke) is not just for style — it allows a longer reach on the catch and more power on the pull. We use 'side kick' drills to teach rotation.

2

High Elbow Catch

The catch is the most important part of the stroke — it's where propulsion begins. The hand enters the water fingertips first, then the elbow bends to create a 'paddle' shape. A high elbow catch (elbow higher than the hand) maximises the surface area pushing against the water.

3

Breathing Pattern

Bilateral breathing (alternating sides every three strokes) develops symmetry and prevents muscle imbalances. We teach students to rotate their head with their body — not lift it — so the mouth clears the water with minimal drag. The exhale happens underwater, not at the surface.

Sports Science

The Science Behind Swimming

Every session includes a sports science moment — a short, engaging discussion that helps children understand how and why their body performs the way it does. Tap "Deeper fact" to go further.

Breathing Technique

"Why is breathing technique so important in swimming?"

Efficient breathing maximises oxygen delivery to muscles while minimising drag. Poor breathing technique — lifting the head too high, holding the breath, or breathing at the wrong point in the stroke cycle — disrupts body position, increases drag and reduces stroke efficiency. The exhale underwater is as important as the inhale at the surface.

Water Resistance

"Why does swimming feel harder than running the same distance?"

Water is approximately 800 times denser than air, meaning the drag force on a swimmer is vastly greater than on a runner. Every inefficiency in body position, stroke mechanics or kick technique is amplified — a slight head lift that would be irrelevant on land creates significant drag in water. This is why technique matters so much more in swimming than in most land sports.

Hydration in the Pool

"Why do we still need to drink water when we're swimming?"

Sweating still occurs in water — the body's cooling mechanism doesn't switch off just because the skin is wet. The cool water and the sensation of being surrounded by liquid mask the feeling of thirst, making swimmers significantly more likely to become dehydrated without realising it. Core body temperature rises during intense swimming just as it does in land sports.
