Water Wonders
Water Wonders classes cater for children aged 4 and a half up with an intellectual or physical disability. Class sizes are smaller, allowing for a more relaxed, quieter environment and are 30 minutes in duration.
The Water Wonder classes involve a parent or guardian getting into the pool with the swimmer to help them feel supported, while the teacher leads the class from the pool deck.
These classes can be booked the same as any other Swim School class, through the Course Pro app.
Water Wonders consist of three levels, Dory's, Patrick's and Nemo's.

How to use CoursePro to make a payment
Please note Jellyfish classes will only be available to book once a new term has begun, up until the 3rd last class of the term as current swimmers are entitled to re-enrol from this point onwards.
