School Swimming and Water Safety Program
Splash Swim Schools offers an award winning School Swimming and Water Safety Program to all local and surrounding schools. The program is developed and delivered to meet benchmarks within the industry and is provided at half the cost of our normal swimming lessons to hopefully teach children who may not be able to afford swimming lessons.
The program focuses on helping children achieve national benchmarks of swimming competencies, this includes water safety, survival and swimming skills. It is important that children learn not only how to swim but how to survive and stay safe in the water. At the end of the program each child receives a certificate which shows what they have achieved during this time.
For Parents:
If your child is participating in this program with their school here are some handy tips:
