TTTT's Private Swimming Lesson Philosophy
Tanya’s Travelling Tadpole Tuition offers a full range of private swimming lessons from complete beginners through to competitive swimmers.
Our focus is to develop efficient and effective strokes so that our swimmers are well prepared for recreational or competitive swimming, and so that they have a highly developed understanding of the aquatic environment and water safety.
Our slogan “Swimming Skills for Life” means that the skills learned in our swimming lessons can not only potentially save lives, but that skills well taught will be kept for life.
Naturally, we focus on making our lessons fun, because whilst water safety is vitally important, a love of water and enjoyment of swimming is a great asset in our environment. And of course we love teaching when everyone is having fun!!
TTTT offer private swimming lessons to the following levels:
Babies Classes - Parent and baby classes are offered for children from 5 months of age in well heated pools.
Learn-to-swim classes - for complete non-swimmers, up to children able to swim without flotation aids (bubbles).
Stroke correction classes - for freestyle beginners up to junior squad level.
Adult classes – private swimming lessons tailored to individual requirements.
All classes are tailored to the individual needs of the child/ group.
As a Royal Lifesaving Society of Australia endorsed swim school, we offer the Swim and Survive programme, whilst also incorporating our unique teaching strategies for private swimming lessons in the backyard pool.
Class Size
The class size is your choice, with up to 4 children able to participate in a swimming lesson. The cost for a lesson is a flat fee, so the more children you include in a lesson, the less it costs per child.
However, a smaller child to instructor ratio means more instructor time for that child and ultimately more rapid improvement and skill development.
Season
The main season for outdoor swimming lessons is from October – March/ early April, so weekly lessons are offered during Term 4 and Term 1 each year, with intensive courses also offered each week during school holidays. The length of season obviously varies slightly depending on whether your pool is heated and we are flexible to accommodate these differences.
