Swimming

The MultiSport swim programme aims to teach the fundamentals of water safety and develop the necessary skills to swim efficiently and gracefully with confidence. Children may progress from Parent and Baby classes through to swimming confidently in the four principal strokes and will also have the opportunity to advance through the Amateur Swimming Association badge award scheme. The National (U.K) Plan for Teaching Swimming (NPTS) award schemes are not only a great incentive and motivator for participants, but also provide international assessment against clearly defined criteria. The following class descriptions provide an indication of suitable level although streaming of classes in line with ability and award level shall take place.

Lessons are available for adults upon request.
MultiSport Coaches are ASA or Aust-Swim qualified swim teachers.

Parent and Baby: (6 months – 3 years)
This course is aimed at giving your baby confidence in the water by targeting tuition at the parent. This is done using a series of fun related skills. Parent/Helper assistance is essential.

Tadpole: Pre-School (3-4 yrs)
Children are taught to submerge, float and swim with assistance and increase their water confidence to become “water safe”. Parent/Helper assistance is essential.

MultiSport Dolphin's is a non profit swim club aimed at encouraging students to continue improving their swimming and as additional training support for students participating in their school swim teams. To take part in Dolphins squad sessions, students must have completed our Level 12 badge award or meet minimum time requirements. These sessions provide a more intense level to improve stroke technique and help build stamina and will be between 1000m and 3000m and last a minimum of 1 hour. Times are regularly taken and posted on the website to record improvement. We hope that Dolphin swimmers may take part in International swim meets to which MultiSport are regularly invited. Please note this is not a learn to swim programme.
