WHY SWIMMING?

  • Drowning is still one of the most common causes of accidental death in children, so being able to swim is an essential life-saving skill.
  • Swimming keeps your child’s heart and lungs healthy, improves strength and flexibility, increases stamina and even improves balance and posture

     

  • Swimming provides challenges and rewards accomplishments, which helps children to become self-confident and believe in their abilities.

     

  • Opens the door to a world of aquatic opportunities (water-polo, surfing-lifesaving, diving, triathlon, surfing and many more..)

 

    HAVE-A-GO FAQ's

    What does the 'Have-A-Go' Clinic Involve?

    The content of the day will vary from locations to location, however the fundamental delivery will be a basic introduction to swimming.
