My child has requirements, how can you accommodate them?Every child is unique, and at Bubble 'n' Kick Swim School, we believe that all children can learn to swim, even if they require a different approach. Our senior instructors hold both AUSTSWIM Teacher of Access and Autism Swim Certifications, boasting over 20 years of collective experience teaching children and adults with various physical, behavioural, and cognitive. Our facility is purposefully designed to accommodate children with disabilities as well as those without. With wheelchair-friendly access throughout the centre, including ramps to one pool deck, we ensure a welcoming environment for everyone. Our pool classrooms are walled to minimise distractions, providing a focused learning atmosphere.
-
Do we swim through school holiday's?We offer swimming lessons throughout the year, divided into four 13-week terms, ensuring a structured approach rather than an endless series of lessons. Our facility boasts indoor pools with heated salt water, making year-round swimming comfortable and enjoyable. Please note that we do have closures for two weeks during Christmas/New Year, as well as the Easter long weekend and all Queensland Public Holidays. Rest assured, if your regular lesson falls on these days, you will not be charged.

How long will take for my child to learn to swim?This is a tricky question to answer, because there are so many variables that will affect how quickly each child will learn to swim. Does your child swim all year round, or just in the warmer months? Does your child swim at least once a week? Does your child spend a lot of time in the water with older/more proficient swimmers? Has your child experienced a fright or scare in the water? What is your definition of "able to swim"? Do you want them happy, confident, able to save themselves and enjoy water play, or are we going to the next Olympics? All of these questions are just some of the factors that need to be considered when determining how long it will take your child to learn to swim. Ultimately, the more consistent practice they get, that is a positive experience with regular correction the sooner they will learn to swim. We also recommend that students complete all levels of our swim program to build strong, lasting water skills. A recent study from Royal Life Saving Australia found that only 3 out of 5 children can swim 50 meters and float on their back for over 2 minutes—a concerning statistic. While younger children are always closely supervised, building these essential skills early is crucial as they grow and begin exploring water more independently. With a strong foundation, they’ll be safer and more confident in any aquatic setting as they get older.

What if we can't make it to a lesson? Do you do make-ups?We recognise that unexpected events occur in life, such as illness, holidays, or car troubles. All we request is that you provide a minimum of two hours' notice if your child will be absent from class, and in return, you'll receive a make-up class. This notification can easily be done through our online platform. There's no restriction on the number of make-up classes you can arrange; however, we do ask that they are scheduled within 90 days of the missed class. This ensures that you have ample opportunity to reschedule and make the most of your child's swim lesson experience.

Our independent swimming classes has a max of 3 students per class and one class per pool room. We also offer privates & semi-privates depending on requirements.

What do we need to bring to class?For our parent assisted class, all students who aren't fully toilet trained are required to wear a swim nappy and we request parents to wear a loose bag shirt. For our independent classes, goggles & swim caps are recommended. During Water Safety week which occurs one week every term, children are required to wear PJ's over there swimmers. Other items that might help include, water, towel, food for after class, moisturiser for sensitive skin - we also have showers available for those you like to shower before or after swim class.
-
When should my child start swimming?The recommended age to start swimming lessons is around 4 to 6 months. Early exposure to water can help build familiarity, reduce fear, and develop water safety awareness from a young age, working towards the ability to have an independent safe swimmer sooner. Starting early has its benefits, but every child’s comfort level in water is unique. Most importantly, consistent exposure and practice help build confidence and a strong foundation for swimming independently.
