With summer approaching fast many parents will think about swimming lessons for their child. It’s a great idea so act on it now and book those lessons. Learning to swim is a vital skill for all ages, especially children!

We started Pod Squad baby classes with my little boy when he was nearly 6 months. They teach fantastic water safety techniques as well as making the whole experience of learning to swim fun for the kids. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!

If you can’t make it to Pod Squad then check out www.swimaustralia.org.au for your nearest registered swim school.
