OUR POOL
32 Degrees
Our heated indoor pool runs at a constant 32 degrees all year round. Warm, comfortable and consistent, regardless of what Melbourne is doing outside.
7 Days a Week
Morning, afternoon and early evening sessions every day of the week. We fit around your life, not the other way around.
From 6 Months
Our Baby Tiny Tot and Baby Beginner classes welcome children from 6 months, with you in the water throughout every single session.
What is actually happening in our 30-minute class
Most parents come to their baby's first swimming class expecting fun and some water familiarity. What they discover is that something more significant is going on.
Research published in peer-reviewed journals in 2022 and 2024 found that babies attending regular water activity classes showed measurable improvements in motor development, cognitive flexibility and the early executive function skills that are most closely linked to school readiness.
The water creates a sensory environment that simply cannot be replicated on land. Movement slows down, sensory feedback is amplified, and neural pathways that are in a critical window of development during the first year of life are activated with every session.
Consistency is the key word. Not occasionally. Not just in summer. The pool in April does the same developmental work as the pool in January.
““Children who swim consistently in their early years arrive at school up to 15 months ahead of their peers.””
Your baby's first lesson, step by step
Step 1: Book a Skills Evaluation
A free 15-minute session where one of our qualified instructors meets your baby in the water. We assess their comfort and ability and place them in exactly the right class from day one. No guesswork, no wrong door.
Step 2: Meet your instructor
Our baby programme is led by specialist instructors who work exclusively with our youngest swimmers. You will be introduced before the class begins and our team will walk you through exactly what to expect.
Step 3: Your first class
Small groups, warm water, and a pace set entirely by your baby. We introduce water contact gradually, building familiarity and confidence without pressure. If your baby takes time to settle, that is completely normal and our instructors are experienced in supporting both of you through it.
Step 4: Watch the progression
From Baby Tiny Tot through to Baby Intermediate and Advanced, our programme has a clear pathway that develops with your child week by week, term by term. Every milestone is celebrated.
FAQs
How old does my baby need to be?
1
We welcome babies from 6 months into our Baby Tiny Tot and Baby Beginner classes. The right starting class depends on your individual baby, which is exactly what the Skills Evaluation determines.
Do I have to get in the water?
2
Yes, and this is one of the things that makes our baby programme genuinely different. You are in the water with your baby throughout every class. Our instructors guide you both. It is not just your baby learning, it is you learning together.
What if my baby cries or gets unsettled?
3
It is completely normal and our instructors expect it. Settling into a new environment takes time. Our team is experienced in supporting babies and parents through those early sessions and most children find their rhythm within a few classes.
How do I know which class is right for my baby?
4
That is exactly what the Skills Evaluation is for. It takes 15 minutes, it is free, and it removes all the guesswork. Our instructors will meet your baby in the water and recommend the right starting point.
