Hooked Swim’s goal is to ensure your child has an incredible swimming experience, leaving them wanting more. We focus on teaching essential life skills in a safe and fun environment.
We run learn to swim classes for children from 5 years of age. Our classes are designed to help develop your child’s character and build confidence through guided play. Hooked Swim’s priority is to get the most out of a lesson with small class sizes every swimming. We incorporate fun into the lesson plan and help build the foundations of a strong swimmer whilst teaching the importance of water safety.
The Hooked Swim Difference
We offer our learn to swim program during terms 1 and 4, with restricted student-to-teacher-ratios to ensure that your child receives the attention, supervision and guidance they need to progress quickly while giving you peace of mind.
All swimmers new to Hooked Swim will be required to complete an assessment before enrolling. This ensures that your child is placed in the correct class to suit their swimming development. If your child is over 5, the in-water assessment should take only 5-10 minutes to complete. If your child is under the age of 5 and over the phone, an assessment can be made. Please get in touch with us to arrange your assessment.
We are proud of all of our students and look forward to celebrating their achievements.
