| Learn-to-swim |
The learn-to-swim program is taught by AUSTSWIM qualified teachers.
Classes are kept at the very small ratio of 4 students per teacher providing
maximum learning opportunities. Lessons are 30 minutes long and are
held in the Guildford Grammar Preparatory School heated pool all year round.
We strongly recommend that every Learn-to-swim student has goggles with the
student’s name written on the head band in bold letters. Most children
will close their eyes under the water if they do not have goggles.
Goggles can make a large difference to the learning process.
