Ages: 5 & 6 years.  Note: Ages are only a guide. Register based on best fit for skill level.

Classes: 30 minutes on Monday and Wednesdays OR Tuesday and Thursdays

Requirement to enter: Able to swim 10 - 15 meters unassisted

Requirement to move up to Stage 2: Can swim full 25 meters of recognizable Freestyle or Backstroke
