It is important to remember that no matter what your children’s swimming ability you should always supervise them when in and around an aquatic environment. No child is drown-proof but you can help them to be aware of the dangers, and be better prepared to enjoy the water by having them consistently participate in swimming lessons. When you are around home pools, ensure the pool gate is closed at all times and free from anything that could be used to climb over the fence. When children are swimming, always ensure you have a designated adult supervisor in attendance. That’s why the Fitness Edge Swim School got on board with Learn2Swim Week. We offered local children the chance to participate in swimming lessons free of charge. They were taught safety skills and now know how much fun learning a life skill can be. More than half of the children have been booked into our regular programme to continue their aquatic experience. Enrol now and help your child with water confidence before summer is here!! The Fitness Edge Swim School Babies and Pre-Schooler swimming classes are designed to develop water confidence and safety and survival skills, which all help to develop a
respect for the water from a young age. Lessons are 30 minutes duration and are conducted by our friendly and encouraging Austswim Qualified Infant instructors. We also cater for School-Age Learn to Swim, Stroke Correction, Squad Swimming and Adults of all ages. We offer competitive prices and have over 400 undercover car parking spaces for your convenience.

That’s why lifeguards put up the red and yellow flags to show you the supervised area in which to swim. Staying safe and making the most of our beautiful coastline requires knowledge and skills.
