Why We Use Magnesium Pools at Bubble’n’Kick Swim School

Magnesium Pools at Bubble'n'Kick

When choosing the right swim school for your child, there’s more to consider than just location, class size, or even the instructors (though we’re proud to tick all those boxes!). One major factor that often goes unnoticed—but can make a world of difference—is what's in the water.

At Bubble’n’Kick Swim School, we’ve invested in magnesium-enriched pools, and our families consistently tell us how much they love the difference it makes. Here's why;

Magnesium pools are mineral-based swimming pools that use natural magnesium salts, often in combination with potassium and sodium, as part of their sanitising system. These minerals not only help to keep the water clean and fresh, but they also provide numerous health benefits for swimmers of all ages.

Traditional chlorine pools can often cause irritation—especially for young children or those with skin conditions such as eczema. Magnesium, on the other hand, is naturally soothing. It helps reduce inflammation, prevents dryness, and promotes overall skin health.

We’ve seen countless families at Bubble’n’Kick report fewer skin issues, softer skin, and more comfortable swimming experiences for their little ones. It’s especially ideal for babies just being introduced to the water.

The therapeutic benefits of magnesium extend beyond the skin. The gentle vapours from magnesium pools can actually open up the airways, which is especially beneficial for children who suffer from asthma or allergies.

Parents often tell us that their children breathe easier after lessons and seem more relaxed—and that’s no coincidence!

Did you know magnesium plays a major role in regulating the nervous system? Swimming in magnesium-rich water has been associated with reduced stress and anxiety, helping to soothe little ones who might otherwise feel anxious or overwhelmed.

At Bubble’n’Kick, this means more relaxed swimmers, better focus during lessons, and often better sleep that night. A win for everyone!

For active kids, growing bodies, or even tired parents joining in our parent-assist classes, magnesium has another superpower: it helps relax muscles and aids recovery. Whether your child is building water confidence or progressing to more advanced skills, the water itself is working with them—not against them.

One of the often overlooked benefits of magnesium pools is the clarity and freshness of the water. The mineral blend helps filter and purify the pool more effectively than chlorine alone, resulting in cleaner, clearer, and softer water with less chemical odour.

You’ll notice the difference immediately—and so will your children.

At Bubble’n’Kick Swim School, our focus isn’t just on teaching kids to swim—it’s on creating a safe, healthy, and positive environment where children can learn, thrive, and build lifelong water confidence.

Our choice to use a magnesium pool reflects our commitment to:

• Prioritising child wellbeing and comfort

• Supporting children with sensitivities and special needs

• Providing a premium swim experience for every family

• Helping children associate swimming with calm, joy, and safety

If you haven’t experienced a magnesium pool yet, we invite you to come and try one of our classes. Whether it’s a free Water Babies introduction, a regular term class, or a school holiday intensive, your child will feel the difference in the water—and so will you.

Because at Bubble’n’Kick, it’s not just about swimming—it’s about building healthy, confident kids from the inside out.
