Pymble Swim School offers a comprehensive Learn-To-Swim program which caters for kids from the age of 3 years old. Our program offers 4 Learn to Swim levels where children of all ages can join and grow a love for swimming.

Our swimming journey starts with Beginners (from 3 years of age) where children cannot yet swim but are ready to begin the journey of being comfortable and confident in the water. Throughout our program kids will learn to swim independently & progress through to levels where they learn the appropriate stroke-work of all 4 strokes. By the end of the Learn to Swim journey – children are expected to swim proficient Freestyle, Backstroke over 20metres and have a sound understanding of Breaststroke and Butterfly.

Stroke Correction is the level that follows Learn to Swim and is before Squads. It is considered the ‘transition level’ between the two programs.

Please see below if you require additional information for each level.
