Speedy's Adventure is Swimming Nature's unique learn-to-swim programme for children between ages 3 and 15. It's a fun, educational and interactive programme that motivates children to progress rapidly through seven aquatic character levels.

When you sign up for Speedy's Adventure, your child will receive a Progression Book with stickers for them to plot their progress on this adventure*.

Instructors will provide weekly feedback on the awards your child has been working on during their lessons. The awards programme also includes a series of 20 cloth badges taking a child all the way from underwater waving to medley swimming!

Setting incremental and realistic goals for each lesson and offering rewards for modules successfully completed introduces a sense of achievement that motivates children to progress to the higher levels on the Speedy's Adventure Programme.

On the first step of their adventure our Frogs hop to it through constructive play without floatation devices. These sessions are centred on young children discovering the properties of water (e.g. how movement is affected by being in an aquatic environment) and developing shallow water confidence. Key skills are breath control submerging and supported floatation.
Seals like to show off their balance skills while floating unaided in the water.
They also begin to understand the basic principles of propulsion via a series of gliding and kicking exercises.
Key skills are floatation without instructor assistance, gliding and kicking.
You’ll find our crabs in deep water territory- putting together the components of backstroke and front crawl as the first steps to a technically perfect swimming style.
Key skills are theintroduction to backstroke and front crawl, lateral breathing.
Agility is the key for our plucky Penguins as they practice p-p-picking up the skills to start competitive swimming. Key skills are front crawl bilateral breathing, stamina, tumble turns and racing dives.
The Turtle stage is when our swimmers start to toughen up! Focused tuition on stamina, rhythm and timing strengthen the front crawl and backstroke and provides a great introduction to breaststroke.
Key skills are stamina and the breaststroke.
Having developed flawless technique in 3 strokes and using their strength and undulation to acquire the butterfly stroke, Crocs get up to speed with SWIMMING NATURE Challenge times and advanced work on timing and rhythm. Key skills include the butterfly stroke, distance swimming and speed training.
Mixing it up with the Medley shows off all of the skills our students have learnt during their time with Swimming Nature. The Swordfish are strong, competent swimmers and leave our adventure ahead by a nose!

Most babies take to the water with ease as it is a very natural experience for them and one that helps to prepare them as confident swimmers later in life. Our Baby Nature program provides a great opportunity for you and your child to share this enjoyable and rewarding experience together.

The Programme

Through a series of planned activities we will help you and your baby feel comfortable together in the water. This provides a foundation for further swimming instruction as he or she gets older.
We provide classes up to a maximum of 8 baby-parent couples per class. Each session lasts 30 minutes and takes place in a pool with an ambient temperature of at least 30°C.
Our rolling enrolment programme allows for you and your baby to join classes any week during the year.

The Benefits

A water-based exercise for babies has been shown to offer multiple benefits including strengthened cardio-respiratory function, improved appetite and stable sleeping patterns. Our instructors also encourage parents to be as proactive as possible in reassuring and guiding their child during swimming, strengthening the bond between parent and child.

So are you ready?

You need to sure you are fully comfortable in water before enrolling with your baby. Baby Nature sessions rely on parental participation in the water and your child’s confidence in the pool will very much depend on yours.

Bath-time is a great opportunity to get some practice in with your baby. Making a game out of being in the water together at every opportunity will help prepare you both.

If you’re feeling like you really should have learnt to swim by now, or would like to be a stronger swimmer, then our Clear Water programme is for you.

Personal Coaching

Most of our adult students opt for personal one-to-one lessons so that they can improve their swimming ability in much the same way as many adults improve their fitness workouts by using a personal coach in the gym. This allows for the instructor to really focus on your specific needs. It also means that you can be yourself, expressing any fears you have openly with your instructor, rather than being concerned or embarrasses about what others might think! Classes in pairs and small groups are also available if you would prefer to learn with others.
