Available at the DLSA Wilsonton Aquatic Centre & DLSA Centenary Heights (from TM).

The Infant program initially focuses on the importance of water safety and awareness. From the age of 4 months we begin to focus on the reflex action. The reflex action is a series of skills such as water orientation, breath control, floatation skills and propulsion skills.

Lessons are based around songs and games. The DLSA Infant/Toddler Program also utilises a unique 'Circuit Program' to keep the classes interesting while your child continues to practice the reflex action skills.

Infant/Toddler Program is conducted in the hydrotherapy pool which is heated to 33 degrees year round.

The DLSA infant and toddler program is structured according to individual skill level - not age. Through repetition your child will develop and progress to the early skills required for Learn to Swim.

Toddlers and Mums continues to gradually increase your child’s water confidence, whilst continuing to work on the reflex action. We continue our emphasis on water safety drills and skills using songs and games in order to make learning easy and enjoyable.

 

* ADVANCED TODDLERS & MUMS (ATM)

Now that, together with you, your child has been shown the importance of the reflex action, it is time for them to try it on their own. Our Advanced Toddler and Mums/Dads classes allow confident toddlers to continue their skill development unassisted. Mums or dads will still need to be in the water each class because we will also begin to introduce more advanced skills with your assistance.

 

* ADVANCED TODDLERS (AT)

It’s now time for Mums or Dads to let their children swim by themselves. At this stage your child will start to learn some of the important drills required for Learn to Swim. 

A parent will be asked to assist the teacher each week for safety reason.
