The Infant Programme is designed for children aged 6 months to 3 years and focuses on developing basic water familiarisation skills and promoting water safety through fun games, songs, and skill-based group activities.

The Pre-School Programme caters to children aged 3 to 5 years and aims to develop water familiarisation skills with a focus on building the foundations for stroke development. The programme includes safe entries/exits, star floats, kicking on front and back, blowing bubbles, and placing the face in the water. Floatation aids such as noodles and kickboards are introduced to develop confidence and establish a streamlined body position.

The School-Age Programme is designed for children aged 6 to 13 years and accommodates all skill abilities and confidence levels. Classes are structured to meet the individual needs and capabilities of each child, with a focus on developing excellent technique. Skills are taught progressively, and the programme ranges from beginner to introductory squad levels.
