STEP 2: Determine the Correct Level
Baby and Toddler classes are grouped by age and do not require an assessment. For children aged 3 and over, we may ask you to come in for a short free assessment so we can place your child in the right group. You can also use our quick level finder quiz to get a head start.
What to Bring to Class
Swimwear for your child (and yourself if attending a parent-accompanied session), a towel and swim nappy for children not yet toilet trained, a swim cap (compulsory for all children aged 3 and over), warm dry clothes for after the lesson, and a small snack or drink bottle for after swimming.

Enrolment FAQs
​
Can my child join mid-term?
Yes. AquaBuddies runs on rolling monthly enrolment so your child can start at any time, not just at the beginning of a school term.
​
How do I know which level is right for my child?
Baby and toddler levels are grouped by age. For children aged 3 and over, we base placement on ability. Use the level finder quiz or contact us and we will help you work it out.
​
My child has had lessons before at another school, how do I know which level to start at?
We place children based on ability, not just age or their previous school's level names. If you're unsure, use our level finder as a starting point and we can confirm the right group when you get in touch.
​
What if there are no spots available?
We will add your child to the waitlist and contact you as soon as a place becomes available. Popular time slots fill quickly so we recommend getting in touch early.​
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. AquaBuddies does not require term commitments. Fees are collected monthly in advance and you can cancel with written notice by the 20th of the month.
​
Where are lessons held?
AquaBuddies runs swimming lessons at two locations: Coogee and North Bondi. Not all programs are available at both locations. Visit each location page for full program details.
