Swimming is embedded in the Australian culture and is an important part of our way of life. At Rainbow Swim Therapy, we believe that every child should undertake some form of structured swimming education. The ability to swim well is not only potentially life-saving but is also a core life skill that will provide lasting benefits and enjoyment to all.
Small Graded Classes
All new swimmers from our Preschool Program and above are assessed to make sure they are placed in a class that best suits their ability. Our structured lesson formats and small class sizes ensure that each and every child is given focused attention to reach their potential.
No Floaties
Although we use some aids, such as hand floats and kickboards, we don’t use arm bands and back bubbles in our classes. It is easy to develop a false sense of security when using these and this can be dangerous. They also tend to keep a child’s head and body in a semi vertical position, which develops bad habits.
Fun and Active Learning
All of our classes have been designed to balance fun, exercise and correct technique. It is important to make sure swimming lessons are fun whilst ensuring kids are learning how to swim well.
Regular Updates
Feedback is important and that’s why we aim to provide all of our parents with a detailed update on their child’s progress every 3-4 months. This is delivered personally to each parent by one of our Teachers via phone or email, to make sure swimming lessons are fun whilst ensuring kids are learning how to swim well.
World Class Teachers
In addition to attaining a nationally recognised qualification, all our teachers and receive extensive professional development. Ongoing professional development provides additional support so our team can provide the best lessons possible.
