HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT

Afloat Swim Lessons deliver Australia’s safest, most effective, accelerated aquatic survival program for non verbal infants and young children. The program focuses on aquatic survival skills tailored to children aged 6 months to 6 years.

Drowning doesn’t occur due to a lack of swimming ability. Drowning occurs when a person is unable to hold and maintain an effective body position for breathing. With over 70% of children under 5 years drowning due to falls into water, this means the child is not intending to swim when they drown.

They access water unnoticed, fall, become disorientated, usually fully clothed which is a completely different sensory experience for them, revert to a vertical position and eventually cannot gain a breath. Breath is life.

No chid is drown-proof, and nothing replaces supervision or restricting access to water, however teaching a child to float could give the child, parents or emergency services those crucial seconds or minutes which could prevent further tragedy. The survival skills we teach are designed to form the final layer of protection in the prevention against drowning.

With Afloat Swim School each child is skilled in WEEKS not years, because taking years to teach a child aquatic survival skills may be too late.

At Afloat Swim School we make every lesson count.
