Learning to swim is a crucial life skill that can shape a child's future in countless ways, and there's something extra special about kids learning to swim in the great outdoors.

The exciting news is that we have started our Learn to Swim lessons at our iconic outdoor Prince Alfred Park Pool!

To help place your child in the right level, we're offering FREE swim assessments every Tuesday and Wednesday, from 3pm to 5pm, between 19 to 27 November. Bring your child along to ensure they start in the right class for their swimming journey

So what are some of the benefits of learning to swim outdoors?

It provides a more sensory-rich environment for children
Experiencing the warmth of the sun, the coolness of the water, and the gentle breeze together makes learning to swim outdoors an engaging and memorable adventure
Sunlight boosts Vitamin D, which is key for strong bones and health
Outdoor swimming gives kids the perfect chance to soak up this essential nutrient while having fun. Just don’t forget to keep them sun-safe!
Promotes confidence and independence
As outdoor pools often come with larger spaces and more open layouts, this environment encourages kids to build confidence, learn new skills, and become more independent as they explore and navigate the pool area

Prepares kids for real-life experiences
Learning to swim outdoors means kids get used to open water, which is different from the controlled environment of indoor pools. These skills can be invaluable for beach trips and water-based holidays
It's fun and enjoyable!
Last but not least, outdoor pools make swimming lessons more enjoyable. The fresh air, natural surroundings, and open space create a fun and relaxed atmosphere that keeps kids excited about learning
