About our program

Kinder Kids is our unique Learn to Swim program that runs Mon-Fri mornings from 9:00 am – 11:00 am; Tailored specifically to meet the needs of 3-5-year-old pre-school children. The classes a centered on learning through play – utilizing games, toys, songs, and exciting activities to keep your children engaged and having fun throughout the learning process – while learning swimming and survival skills for life.

Classes are generally smaller – with a maximum of 5 children per class – meaning that your child gets the additional support they need to progress faster.
The benefits of younger children swimming in the morning include:

  1. Kinder Kids concentrate better in the mornings.
  2. Quieter sessions mean fewer distractions.
  3. The children are all under school age so they will be swimming with children in similar age groups
  4. Kinder Kids is lots of fun with new and exciting toys being added all the time specifically for our 3-5-year-old swimmers.
  5. The teachers play games and motivate the kids to try their hardest using age-appropriate toys and activities.
  6. All of our beginner Kinder Kids classes have a maximum of 4 students meaning they will receive the additional support to help them thrive.
  7. We have fun weekly themes that shape how we run our classes and what toys we include. For example, Jungle Safari week!

Our kinder program is designed to ensure that your children develop a future love of the water. Here’s what some of our parents think about the program:

“The instructors give the kids lots of praise and encouragement which helps with the kid’s self-esteem. Riley loves playing on the slide and blow-up animals at the end of the lesson!”
“Before Garth started he was not confident in the water. He would not lay on his back or blow bubbles. Emmett was not confident in deep water. Now both boys cannot wait until their swimming lessons each week. I would and do recommend SSA to other parents as the staff are great and very helpful.”

is it a good fit for my child?

 At SSA we are enthusiastic about finding the perfect fit for your child.

Our Kinder Kids Program is intended for kids either attending Kinder or transitioning out of our Tiny-Tackers Program.  Our Learn to swim Program is divided into 11 different levels that skew down to particular skills. This program selection teaches basic coordination of doggy paddle, breath regulation, safe recovery and independence. The function of Kinder Kids is to provide a quieter environment to develop skills until your little on is ready to join our School-aged Learn to Swim Program. 

Swimmers who are at Kinder, not yet comfortable with a change of teachers, trouble emotinally detaching, requiruing additional support, or requires a more focused learning environment will be directed to join this program.

Every Learn to Swim teacher completes and keep current a CPR certification, is Austswim accredited, Infant Aquatic accredited, and completes extensive inhouse training. This assures the quality of our teachers.
