At SwimStories, we focus on survival and self-rescue skills. Our distinctive roll-over breathing technique is a critical aspect of our teaching, often not addressed in traditional swim schools. This method allows children to float, relax, and breathe autonomously, empowering them to swim, stay afloat, and enjoy swimming while conquering water-related fears.

While no swimming program can offer absolute drown-proofing, SwimStories emphasises drowning prevention. Safety assurance depends on consistent participation in the swim survival course and the child's developmental readiness. Our program significantly enhances water safety and survival skills.

No, parents are not required to be in the water. Initially, your child may experience stranger and separation anxiety, so we encourage your presence at the poolside. Sometimes, we may ask you to step out of view to build trust between the instructor and your child, fostering self-reliance and confidence in the water.

Our approach is tailored to address and alleviate water-related fears. Our consistent, one-on-one teaching methodology allows us to work through fears, transforming your child from feeling scared and helpless to being confident and capable of self-rescue in weeks, not years.

We understand that illnesses and other circumstances can lead to missed lessons. If your child is unwell with a fever, stomach bug, or vomiting, they should not swim. For minor ailments like a runny nose or allergies, attendance is encouraged. We try to accommodate up to two make-up sessions for 6-week course participants and one make-up session for 3-week course participants, subject to instructor availability.

The outstanding balance must be paid before attending the first lesson.

Our maintenance classes are specifically designed for children who have completed the water safety and survival skills course. This prerequisite ensures that all participants in the maintenance classes have attained a certain level of swim safety, which is a crucial aspect of these lessons.
