Ethos
All of our qualified instructors are also mums, so we know the value of special time spent with our children. That is one reason we use the Birthlight approach. Gentle and unique, all of our classes promote three key Birthlight elements: Bonding between baby/toddler and carer, health through swimming competence and exercise, and fun . . . a wonderful way to spend quality time together!
In safe, comfortable and clean surroundings, we encourage grown-ups and children alike to achieve the highest levels of water confidence and safety skills possible. All Smart Swim School staff believe that the greatest success comes through a relaxed approach tailored specifically to the individual needs of all class members.
Our after-school classes incorporate The Shaw Method in which we strive to help your child maintain a healthy posture and good spinal alignment through swimming.
All of our classes are designed to encourage and promote:
- Bonding, through enjoying songs and rhymes together, lots of eye contact, praise and love, and fun with plenty of cuddles
- Water confidence, through well thought out and executed lessons, combined with an underlying long term goal of independent swimming
- Safety skills which teach independence as well as a safe and healthy respect for the water
- Exercise for both parent and child as you swim with your baby and encourage them to learn and strengthen their own swimming action
The benefits of swimming with your child and spending quality time together in the water will provide the foundation for the development of invaluable aquatic skills.
