FAQ
1.Infants & toddlers
Our
AUSTSWIM water safety and familiarization classes for children aged 4 months to
4 years old may be the most important enrichment activity you give your child;
and it may save their life!Research by Griffith University in
Australia (2010-present) shows that regular swimming lessons from an early age
(~6 months) help children reach motor, cognitive, academic, emotional and
language developmental milestones earlier than non-swimming children.
Conducted by caring, qualified, swim
coaches who understand babies and toddlers, other benefits of our 30-minute,
small-group swim classes include:
·
Bonding with
parent/caretaker who is in the water with the child
·
Enhanced self-esteem
and independence as children achieve demonstrable skills at their own pace
·
Prevention of water
fears as babies less than a year old accept the water more readily than older
children
·
Better sleep and
appetite as swimming classes relax and stimulate babies
·
Strengthened
respiratory system as swimming is the exercise of choice for asthmatics
Pre-conditioning
Your Baby for Submersion
Babies are special! Their in-womb
experience prepares them for in-water experiences without adverse effects.
Newborn babies automatically stop
breathing if they are placed under water for a short period of time and so
avoid inhaling water.
We recommend parents precondition their
infants for swimming through a simple process which begins with the parent and
baby at bath time to continue developing their natural ease in the water:
·
Start by taking a
cup of water, ensuring the water is at bath temperature and use the key words:
“(Child’s name), ready, one, two, three, go.” Wait one second then pour the
water on the child’s forehead allowing it to run smoothly and evenly across the
child’s face. Always start with the key words, “(Child’s name), ready, one,
two, three, go” and make sure your physical actions remain rhythmical and
constant. Remember to smile, laugh and cuddle your child to help him/her (and
you!) relax.
·
When your baby is
very small, you may prefer to drip water from a wet washer/flannel over his/her
face. Remember to go slow and be patient.
·
By doing this
pre-conditioning exercise at home, you and your baby will be much more prepared
and therefore relaxed when you join us for swimming class.

2.Learn to swim
While many
swim schools only focus on energetic, fun swimming classes in the early years,
Marsden Swim School also concentrates on correct technique so bad habits don’t
lead to inefficient strokes.
Marsden Swim School coaches are known for
their attention to detail in implementing our AUSTSWIM-endorsed Learn to Swim program,
along with a low-stress, warm and friendly atmosphere.
Our AUSTSWIM Learn to Swim classes have
up to 5 swimmers per class so individual attention is ensured.
In some cases, semi-private or individual
classes can also be arranged.
Swim
classes cover:
·
Buoyancy on the
front and back, rotation, gliding, propulsion with the arms and legs, diving
and kickboard work are introduced and built upon over four different levels.
·
Freestyle,
backstroke and breaststroke are complemented by an understanding of butterfly
and sidestroke.
·
Water safety skills
including the prevention of dangerous aquatic situations and simple rescues of
self and others are also explored each term.

3.Stroke development
Our swim coaches carefully help students
swim strokes over longer distances without sacrificing technique, once they
have basic competency in the following:
·
Swimming 10-15M in
all four fundamental strokes
·
The survival
sidestroke and backstroke
·
Diving off the side
of the pool.
Apart from working on swimming correctly
over longer distances, swimmers in our stroke development classes are
introduced to competitive starts, turns and finishes.

4.Swim squads
Junior Club
Squad
For those ready to cover greater swimming
distances without sacrificing technique, our Junior Swim Squad program is a 45-minute
session where participants get the chance to be part of a team.
Through regular swim meets throughout the
year, swimmers are given the chance to continually improve on their personal
bests in a fun but competitive environment.
Head Coach Arnaud D’enfert knows how to
get the best out of his team whilst creating an environment where kids want to
come to swim training and push themselves to be their best.
