Our Graduate program helps kids learn advanced swimming techniques and develop expertise in the water.
At this level, our expert swim teachers instruct from the pool deck, allowing them to observe strokes above and below the water. This gives them a better vantage point for precise feedback, while dry land demonstrations help swimmers replicate key movements for improved technique.
Throughout the program, children will:
- Master advanced strokes and improve their diving skills
- Build upon water safety, survival and rescue skills, preparing them for emergencies while fostering responsibility in and around water
- Develop their confidence, fitness, coordination, strength and endurance, opening doors to more aquatic activities and sports
- Take part in Personal Best Race Meets, where they can hone their skills and race against their personal best times in a fun and supportive atmosphere
Swimmers emerge from the Graduate program as capable, confident swimmers, and are invited to join our Squad program.
Graduate swimming lesson levels
At Kingswim, we divide our learn to swim programs into stages called K-levels. These K-levels ensure children continually develop their skills and confidence as they progress through the program. Our Graduate program is divided into levels K9, K10, K11 and K12.

How we teach
We want every child to become the best swimmer they can be.
Our teaching style focuses on ensuring children feel safe and supported in the water. All of our teachers follow the same lesson plan to ensure consistency.
We also teach in small class sizes, creating a nurturing environment where every child receives the close attention and guidance they need to develop their skills.
To support your child during lessons, our teachers may use ‘hands-on corrections’. This is where they use their hands to guide your child into the correct swimming position and keep them safe.
Our aim is to help your child grow more confident and capable in the water, one lesson at a time.
Survival swimming skills
We incorporate survival swimming skills into every lesson at Kingswim – from our Foundation programs right up to our Graduate and Squad programs.
Each week, your child has the opportunity to learn and practise essential swimming skills that will help them become stronger and safer in the water.
We also have dedicated survival weeks, where children learn specific lifesaving skills appropriate to their age and ability level. This includes safe entries and exits, rescue techniques, survival strokes and more.
By focusing on survival swimming skills, our lessons help kids grow into confident swimmers who know how to be safer in and around water.
