It’s time to splash into swimming lessons

Splash''s has highly trained staff to teach children life saving water skills.

Splash’s – Learn to Swim offers swimming lessons for children from three months of age right through to adults.

With convenient locations in Berwick, Dandenong and Pakenham – and offering lessons seven days a week – there are plenty of options for busy families.

Life Saving Victoria reports that 45 people died from drowning since July 1 2020, the largest number since detailed records began.

Due to Covid restrictions, children missed eight months of weekly swimming lessons last year, prompting an urgent call for parents to keep their kids enrolled in swimming lessons this winter.

Director Laura Sim says each winter, swim teachers notice that some parents withdraw their children as a precautionary measure or because their child has a cold.

“Later in the year, they return to find that not only did their child catch all the colds that went around, but they also missed out on the many benefits of swimming. Often, upon return, their swimmer has regressed through lack of practice,” she said.

The pools at Splash’s are always warm, with a comfortable water temperature of 32.5C.

Splash’s heated pools are maintained to the highest hygienic standards with a world class filtration system that uses less chlorine, reduces skin and eye irritation, improves water quality and reduces water consumption.

With over 30 years of experience in the aquatic industry, Splash’s progressive approach to teaching and purpose-built centres provide a safe learning environment that is structured and supportive.

Small class sizes, regular assessments and highly trained staff give children the best chance to learn skills that will keep them safe around water.
