Swimmerz Academy

Getting our swimmers to float fully clothed gives them precious moments to rest, catch their breath and call our for help.

These are skills your kids need to survive in the water in an emergency - are they skills your kids have?

Around the 9-second mark, watch what happens when the board slips - because this is exactly what you want your kid to do in this moment.
This little one is one of our more nervous swimmers, but instead of panicking he held on, turned himself around, and with a little help from his instructor kicked all the way safely back to the wall.
This is exactly why we do these drills during Safety Week. They're not just swimming practice - they're life skills. The confidence and muscle memory built in moments like this could make all the difference if your child ever finds themselves in trouble in the water.

This is exactly how calm you want your child to be if they fall into the water.

Notice how Jackson isn't letting go of the float? This is EXACTLY what you need to encourage and remind your kids to do when talking about water safety with them. This is how they will survive.

Watch what happens when he falls backwards.

POV: Your toddler is learning water safety skills that could save their life, and they have no idea.

He stays calm. He holds his breath. He reaches for the wall. These aren’t advanced techniques – they’re survival instincts we’re building into every lesson, wrapped up in games like the dump truck.

If you found our page, this is what we do. We specialise in teaching kids to enjoy the water safely, from their very first lesson.

📍 Caringbah, Sutherland Shire

Picture this: It’s summer and you’re at a pool with your kids. Everyone is having fun swimming around, until one of your kids who swam a bit further away from you gets tired. Then they start to panic. They use up precious energy that they need to stay safe.

This is exactly why we have Safety Week. To practise the skills for moments like this.

Because a child who is calm in these moments is a safer one. And more likely to survive.

Small moments are the ones that mean the most to your kids.

Being there, waving and cheering them on from the poolside is so much more important than any of us realise. It says “I see you! I’m watching you and I am so proud of you 😍”
