Water safety training, including safe exits and controlled falls, is also a key aspect of our lessons.

Building on Toddler 1 skills, this stage introduces submersion techniques, breath control, and additional floating skills. In our Zillmere swimming lessons, toddlers learn how to blow bubbles, hold onto the pool edge, and increase their overall confidence in the water while parents provide support.
This eight-week program gradually transitions children to independent swimming by reducing parental involvement. By the end of the course, children in Zillmere will be comfortable with water safety techniques, waiting their turn, and moving independently in the pool.

This level removes kickboard assistance and focuses on full-stroke development. Children refine their freestyle and backstroke techniques while improving stamina, core strength, and bilateral breathing for a more natural swimming rhythm.
At this stage, swimmers perfect their freestyle and backstroke strokes while building endurance. New strokes like breaststroke and butterfly kick are introduced, aiming for swimmers to complete multiple laps with proper technique and control.
This advanced level focuses on stroke development and technique refinement for freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke. Our Zillmere instructors break down strokes into elements before integrating them into complete movements, ensuring swimmers gain confidence and efficiency in the water.
