Development Squads

Our Learn to Swim & Development Squads are graded to allow each child to develop and progress optimally. Students learn a variety of swimming skills as well as essential water safety knowledge in a fun yet challenging environment. All lessons are conducted by enthusiastic Austswim qualified instructors.
