Learn to Swim with Us
GOswim is a new and effective swimming and water safety program focused on experiential and activity-based learning.
GOswim swimming and water safety lessons empower students to think, discuss and make informed decisions whilst having fun in and around water. Our program is run in small, graded classes with a fully trained swimming teacher.
Our Swimming Curriculum
The curriculum covers five areas of learning. These areas are combined and presented as activities to enhance the students’ learning and development.
Key learning areas include:
- Safe entries and exits
- Balance, movement and recovery
- Breath control, submersion and readiness
- Water safety
- Swimming stroke development
