Our Learn to Swim Lessons offer versatility to suit all ages and abilities. If your child has little swimming experience, our gentle and patient instructors are able to ensure their introduction to water is a positive one. For children who have already begun their swimming journey, we offer a fantastic program that is aimed at both water safety and developing good technique for all strokes.

We have a team of very friendly and fully accredited SWIM AUSTRALIA / AUSTSWIM Instructors. Our instructors are experienced and maintain a high currency standard to ensure your child is given the best opportunity to improve and develop not only their swimming skills, but their water safety skills. Grace Swimming and its instructors ultimately pride themselves in striving for a happy and fun environment for you and your family.

Our Learn to Swim Program runs with the Queensland State School terms, but we also have Holiday Intensive Programs available during the breaks. We also run Macca’s Mini Meets, where all the children from Learn to Swim get together to promote their newly learnt and developed skills.

Prior to booking in to a class, we will need to assess any swimmers to see which level is the best fit! Give us a call on 3204 2725 to book in your free assessment.
