Parent & Child

Our Parent and Child program is determined by a child’s age and commences at 6 months through to 3 years old. Parents are actively involved in teaching their children skills relating to water safety, water familiarisation and skill development. Our classes are focussed on building a child’s self-confidence in the water. This is achieved through implementing structured and relaxed activities that provide children with the opportunity to develop and build their water-based skills. We place a strong emphasis on swim skill attainment and general mobility in the water and believe that children learn best and do well in a fun and balanced class environment.

Beginner Levels

Students are taught the fundamentals of swimming and basic stroke development in Backstroke and Freestyle. Emphasis is placed on developing and strengthening kicking techniques, water independence and class participation. At this level, children are particularly vulnerable around water and require focus and constant supervision. Water Safety is paramount and is presented in a fun yet structured manner.

Intermediate Levels

Once general water safety requirements are met, further emphasis is then placed on technique. Children are developing their swimming fitness and technique. Freestyle side breathing is learned, as well as breaststroke and butterfly. A focus is to build each swimmer’s stroke technique through drills and repetition.

Advanced Levels

Swimming lessons increase to 45mins in the advanced levels, assisting to improve a student’s fitness and endurance. While building endurance, we also focus on developing student’s technique and training skills, through interval training and the use of the pace clock. We cover all four strokes including tumble turns and diving skills at this level.

Holiday Programs

In the second week of each school holiday period, we conduct our 5-day intensive program for a variety of ages and standards of swimming. This program consists of 5 x 45 minute lessons at a discounted rate. The Holiday Program is great for children who may be attending their first group lesson, or for those who wish to make some sharp and immediate improvements to their swimming.

School Programs

Our School Program provides students of all ages and abilities, the opportunity in learning to swim. Our swimming program is complemented by water safety survival techniques and activities across all platforms. Mentone Aquatic utilizes the ‘FIN’ Certificate system which has proven highly successful in over 25 years of learning to swim. The ‘FIN’ system provides our team the framework to teach students swimming in the most effective and efficient means. We also include elements of Royal Life Saving’s ‘Swim & Survive’ program. For best results, we recommend schools a 2-week intensive swimming program. Typically, this seems to provide students the best outcomes and most improvement. All students receive a Certificate at the conclusion of the program.
