Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What age group are the Holiday Swim Intensives suitable for?
Our January Holiday Swim Intensives are designed for children aged 3 years and over. Whether your child is new to the water or already swimming independently, we group classes by age and ability to ensure the best learning experience.
Where are the lessons held?
All Holiday Swim Intensives are held at our Bondi location – Wairoa School Pool (Cnr Hastings Parade & Brighton Boulevard, North Bondi).
Our Coogee pool runs regular term lessons but does not host the January intensives.
How long does each lesson go for?
Each session runs for 30 minutes per day, Monday to Friday. The program runs in three one-week blocks throughout January 2026, so you can choose one, two or all three weeks depending on your schedule.
What should my child bring to lessons?
Please pack:
-
Swimwear and goggles
-
Towel and dry clothes
-
Reusable swim nappy (for under-3s)
-
Sunscreen and a hat (for outdoor time)
-
Water bottle and snack
Keeping essentials ready helps lessons start on time and ensures your child is comfortable after swimming.
How much do the Holiday Intensives cost?
Pricing varies slightly by level and time slot. You can view current prices and availability directly through our booking portal.
Can my child do more than one week?
Absolutely! Many families enrol in two or all three weeks. Daily repetition helps children retain skills and make noticeable progress faster — especially before Term 1 swimming resumes.
What if my child is nervous about starting?
Our instructors are highly experienced in helping children feel comfortable and confident in the water. We keep class sizes small, use gentle encouragement, and focus on building trust before technique.
