Children’s swim lessons near me

The Emily Seebohm Aquatic Centre offers kids swimming lessons locally. The following are their current classes:

TADPOLE: 3 months-5 months FREE CLASS.

This introduction program is designed to educate parents as well as introduce their babies to the aquatic environment.

SEAHORSE 1: Approx 3 – 8 month old babies.

These classes are designed to promote confidence in both parent and child through age-based activities.
