Program Information and Cost

• The program includes a 30 minute class where beach familiarisation, activity and fun are the main goals.
• Classes are grouped by ‘year of birth’ and include beach-based activities, races and games.
• We strongly encourage students to stay after class for a swim to increase their confidence in the water.
• Student to teacher ratios are strict at a maximum of 1 teacher to every 8 students, with at least one extra instructor floating between groups. This ratio is dropped further to 1 to 7 for the 2016 classes, 1 to 6 for 2017, and 1 to 5 for the 2018 class. A 2019 class will be added in February 2022.
