What guests have to say about Dayboro Pool & Gym

“My 6yo son and 3yo daughter learn to swim with Amy as their instructor and I’m simply so grateful for not only Amy but the whole team at Dayboro pool. My son had no confidence for a long time and would spend most of the lesson crying and wanting to get out of the water. Amy turned that right around and now he tries everything she asks him to – his swimming and confidence have improved so much this season! Amy and the manager Nik have such a kind, loving, and patient manner with all the children.”

“I have 2 kids attending swimming lessons at Dayboro Pool. My 7 year old has come leaps and bounds with his swimming since starting. I also had a 6 year old who 6-8 weeks ago cried to get in the pool & lacked confidence. Amy has been fabulous with him. After 6 weeks of lessons he now has joined swimming club and is loving his swimming. All the team at the pool are friendly and so caring towards the kids. I highly recommend them for all swimming abilities…”

BabySteps provides babies and toddlers with a gentle, positive introduction to the water, incorporating water familiarisation and awareness to give them the confidence, plus the skills to be safer in and around the water. This is all done in a manner that babies learn best by – BabySteps! During this 24-week program, parents will gradually see their child progress and improve. Babies will acquire the skills needed to start their learn to swim adventure, as they gain confidence to manoeuvre through water independently for several metres in the correct body position. By the end, your child will have completed a gentle and happy transition to participating in a lesson without their parent or carer in the water, ready to learn directly with Hampton swim School’s teaching team members.

Parents can follow their child’s progress through an easy-to-use online portal and app.

SwimSteps

The SwimSteps Learn to Swim Program has been developed to incorporate a series of graded class levels that enable children to build and practice key skills and techniques. Hampton Swim
School’s progressive approach ensures children learn with others at a similar level and progress through their unique benchmarks that are celebrated along the way. Hampton Swim School incorporates a swim-float-swim sequence into their SwimSteps lessons, to ensure each swimmer through their program is provided with a solid foundation to their aquatic education to make them safer in and around the water. As part of their SwimSteps program, swimmers are taught to be comfortable in both the front and back positions, to ensure they are given the best possible tools if ever confronted with a dangerous aquatic situation. Hampton Swim School’s Service Coordinators are continually assessing swimmers to ensure they are in the appropriate level, and are always on hand to answer your SwimSteps questions.

Team Accelerate

The Hampton Swim School Team Accelerate squad program is the FUN place to swim squad, with a focus on fun, fitness, and recreational squad swimming in their 25 metre pool, and individualised training based on personal goals.

Red Squad is for Swimmers graduating from Hampton’s SwimSteps program. Participants will now continue their progress in the water in the Red Squad. This new format is designed to bridge the gap between a smaller class in the water and the larger numbers in multiple lanes in Team Accelerate.

White Squad introduces rudimentary squad swim session for swimmers transitioning from Learn to Swim.  Because squad is FUN, each session utilises team-based games, activities and drills for achievement of skills and stroke development.

Silver Squad is for the accomplished squad swimmer and is based on stroke development extension, with a focus on challenging fitness in flexibility, strength, endurance and speed to achieve personal and team goals.

Lastly, Black Squad is for the committed squad swimmer. Stroke refinement is still the number one priority, alongside the continued development of a swimmer’s physical capabilities. In Black
Level, swimming may be the sport of choice, with personal goal setting based upon training and competition.

Private lessons

Tailored to meet individual needs, such as to overcome anxiety, jump-start their swim skills, or refine their stroke, private lessons can be tailored to each swimmer’s needs. Hampton Swim School recommends the private program for a younger child who has had a traumatising experience in the water, for an older child who requires an intensive boost in skills, or for a competitive swimmer fine-tuning their form. Private lessons are also suitable for swimmers of any age who may have trouble focusing in a group environment, or have certain learning or physical challenges.

Adult Learn 2 Swim

Adult Learn 2 Swim sessions are affordable group classes teaching all levels of ability to swim and be confident in the water.

Treasures ASD Program

The Treasures ASD Program is a specialised therapy-based aquatic program for children with Autism. Unique to Hampton Swim School, Treasures’ swim lessons are facilitated by a fully qualified and registered Occupational Therapist, who has also undergone formal training in swim instruction. Classes are HCWA, Better Start and NDIS approved and registered.
