Get Wet Swimming

Get Wet Swimming is simply the best little Swim School in this beautiful Tweed Valley and beyond.

The Get Wet pool has ticked all the boxes for environmental sensitivity and sustainability. Get Wet has been an industry leader by being one of the first to use Ozone technology to disinfect the pool. Get Wet derives over 85% of our pool heating from the Sun. Our pumps all have energy saving capacity installed, for which we have gained recognition from the NSW Government Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Awards.

LEARN TO SWIM CLASSES

Learn to Swim for Babies

Maximum of 6 children per half hour session. Lessons are suitable for babies from six (6) months (when their immune system has developed) and upwards to approximately 2.5 – 3 years of age. Parents/carers are taught the correct technique for introducing baby to water. With the use of fun activities and games, we aim to provide a feeling of comfort and safety in the water. These lessons are invaluable, because if the skills are practiced regularly, they can certainly help to save a child’s life. Remember, every child is different and should be encouraged at their own pace.

Learn to Swim for Children

WATER SAFETY / LEARN TO SWIM CLASSES. Maximum of 4 children per half hour session After the child is happy and confident in the water through activities and games, we introduce the teaching of water safety.

Those skills include:

★ Face in water

★ Bubbles

★Kick and pull (dog paddle)

★Front and back floats

★Falling in and back to the side safely

★Retrieving objects from the bottom of the pool.

Only when a child can confidently dog paddle across the pool without panic, (ie. bubbles in – up for breath) do we commence the art of the freestyle stroke and breathing. It is vital that a child has good flotation skills and the legs do not sink at the back while dog paddling, before commencing overarm.
