Swim Levels
Learning to swim is an essential life skill in Australia, where our lifestyle often involves enjoying time around water. At Hooked Swim, we pride ourselves on providing a unique swimming experience with small class sizes, experienced instructors, and a specially developed program that ensures your child gets the most out of every lesson.
In our swim school, students earn their ‘Stripes’ by passing levels, with each level carefully designed to build the fundamental skills needed for the next stage. Our dedicated teachers and supervisors continually assess each child’s progress, understanding that every child learns at their own pace. This means your child can advance when they’re ready, not just at the end of a term. You’ll receive a progress and assessment sheet at the end of each term to track your child’s development.
We recommend that new swimmers come for a quick in-water assessment before signing up, but we’re also available for a phone chat if that’s more convenient.
