Weekly Swim Classes
Our weekly term swimming classes are held at the
Wairoa School Pool in North Bondi. The pool is indoors and heated to a toasty 32 degrees all year round! This makes it a great place for children to swim regardless of the season. A term is roughly 10 weeks in line with the NSW school term. Enrolments are taken on a term-by-term basis.
The AquaBuddies Learn To Swim program focuses on developing the foundations for a correct swimming technique. Our experienced staff will help children develop swimming skills at their own pace. They are flexible with lesson plans and tailor activities to meet each child’s individual needs. They also show children their boundaries as they learn about the importance of water safety.
The school requires that all children are toilet trained before they enter the water, and our classes are without a parent in the water. So we suggest a minimum of 3years of age and cater through to primary school age.
We value the importance of small class sizes, therefore we have a maximum of 3 in a group. Private classes are also available upon request and dependent on availability.

How to enrol
Fill out a form online
To enrol please fill out a booking form and we will contact you to discuss a lesson time based on your child’s level and availability.
Determine the correct level
We group our swimmers according to swimming skill. If your child is over 3years of age we may ask you to come in for a free assessment so that we can place them into the correct level.
Discuss availability
Once we have determined your child’s swimming level we will be able to indicate our availability based on the current school term calender. If there is no availability you will be added to our wait list and contacted in the next term.
Secure your spot
When an agreed time is reached, your booking form is used to set you up with an account and enrol your child. You will then be emailed instructions on how to make payment from our website. Please note that your spot is not secured until payment is received.
