• All new students will need to contact Admin to speak with someone about what your child’s ability and which level is best suited to begin with. Our philosophy at Sue Mickelson Swimming is to start them at a lower level initially to gain confidence, get to know the teacher and the way we operate before progressing to a higher level.  No one wants to struggle in their class at a new swim school.

• Throughout the term, our teachers are constantly reviewing your child and their ability in their lesson. We will let you know when they are ready to progress to the next level.  This is based on their ability, age and maturity.

• Contact Sue and outline any concerns you might have about your child’s progression. We will then be able to contact you to have a chat about your child’s progress.

• The home pool is around 32 degrees which is ideal for pre-school aged Learn to Swim.
