OUR PROGRAM

Fun, friendly and
oh so welcoming!

Our program has been developed to cater for everyone, from a 3 month old bub, a school-age little fish, up to an adult or anyone in between!

Our core swim school program is designed for students to progress through Fish n Flips 11 levels over time, building confidence, achieving skills & becoming independent.

All classes run for 30 minutes, have small student to teacher ratios and run on a consistent weekly schedule. Alternatively, you may prefer a different option (outside our standard levels), such as private classes, semi-privates, stroke correction squads or adult lessons. We cater for them all. Unsure of where your little one or you might fit, take our self assessment quiz today.
