Learn to Swim

Millers Swim School offers swim lessons for children and adults in a friendly, nurturing and professional environment.

Our aim is to promote water confidence and swimming skills to enable children and adults to participate in our wonderful Australian lifestyle with safety and enjoyment.

Swim lessons are conducted with experienced and caring instructors in our indoor heated pools from the age of six months. All instructors are fully qualified and report to the swim school coordinator at the end of every session.

There are 12 certificate levels in the program

  • Children are progressed up at the discretion of the instructor
  • All learn to swim lessons are of 30 mins duration

INFANTS

(All sessions with parents in the water)

  • Babies (6 – 15 months)
    • This is an introduction to water familiarisation and socialisation in a group atmosphere with the aim of helping baby (and parent) to feel safe and happy in the water.
  • Squirts (15 – 24 months)
    • During this stage, your child will develop an understanding of instructions/cues and be able to participate more fully and with some independence in the activities with the aim of becoming water safe.
  • Little Tadpole (2-3 years)
    • This is an extension of the activities and skills from squirt classes, promoting more independence in the water and interaction between child and instructor, preparing the child to transition to the next stage with no parent in the water.
