Why Choose Our Advanced Swimming Program?
Early Childhood Developmental Benefits
We all want the best for our kids. Research has shown that children who learn to swim at a young age reach many early childhood developmental milestones earlier than the norm. This includes not just swimming capability, but also literacy, numeracy, social and emotional skills. This makes swimming lessons for kids an excellent choice! When you enrol your child in swimming lessons, you’ll give them the greatest opportunity to thrive in life.

Common Questions
Will we receive a graduation certificate? 
We love to celebrate when kids graduate from Kingswim! We believe it’s important to recognise such a great achievement, and to thank parents for all the support they’ve given along the way. Each year, we hold a special graduation ceremony, to give the kids all the fanfare they deserve!
What happens after graduation?
For some kids, graduation is the sole goal. And what a wonderful goal it is! Others see it as a new beginning in swimming, and move onto squads. This is a very personal choice – but either way, Kingswim graduates are skilled for life!
What Others are Saying

Our boys have loved swimming there and continue to swim squad and club after they have graduated. Our eldest loved the place that much he wants to coach.
Kurt
The staff are nice and they try to reach perfection in their goals with the children to be strong confident swimmers.

Common Questions
Kingswim makes learning to swim simpler for the whole family developing a swimming program where everything is considered both in and out of the pool. We have been teaching swimming for over 30 years, offering programs for babies from 12 weeks of age, right through to graduate level swimmers. Kingswim is a dedicated swim school made for families, and our team make learning to swim easy. We have centres conveniently located near you.
We have a Swim Australia registered program, and all of our teachers hold nationally recognised qualifications.
We have supervisors for each class, who observe each child closely and provide regular feedback to parents. Changing levels is not limited to term breaks, which allows children to progress to the next level whenever they are ready.
We sure do! Our Fast Track holiday swimming program is an intensive burst of daily swimming lessons held in the second week of the school holidays, usually for four days. If you can’t come to swimming training for all four days, no worries – just choose the days that suit you! It’s a fun and healthy activity, and a great way to get some extra swimming practice for the kids.
