Building Confidence in the Water: Changes Parents Will Love
Exciting Changes to the BlueFit Swimming Program
At BlueFit Swimming, our number one priority is helping every child feel safe, confident, and happy in the water. Over the past few months, we’ve been busy working with swimming experts, child development specialists, our dedicated team and listen.
What's New?
The updated program puts an extra focus on water safety and building strong, lifelong swimming skills. By refining our lesson structure, we’ll spend more time on the core techniques that help children progress faster, grow in confidence, and enjoy their time in the pool.Every lesson is designed to be steady, consistent, and fun, so children keep building on their skills week after week. This means your child will develop into a stronger, safer swimmer with each class.
When Does It Begin?
The new program launches on Monday, 29th September. To make sure every child is in the right class for their ability, our instructors will carefully assess each swimmer in their current lesson. This way, your child will get just the right level of challenge and support.There may be a short settling in period, but our team will be on hand to guide your child every step of the way, with personalised support as needed.
Why Do We Use Structured Lesson Plans?
Children learn best with clear structure and repetition. Our lesson plans are designed to give kids consistency, helping them develop coordination, muscle memory, and confidence. This ensures they master the basics before moving on to more advanced strokes, all while keeping lessons engaging and fun.
How Do We Build Each Lesson?
Our lessons are thoughtfully created by experienced educators and childhood specialists. Each class builds step by step through repetition, playful challenges, and exciting activities. This approach helps kids learn safely, grow in confidence, and build skills that last a lifetime.
How Do Lesson Plans Help Our Teachers?
Lesson plans give our instructors a clear roadmap to follow, so every child gets consistent, safe, and effective teaching. This structure also helps classes stay focused and enjoyable, with clear milestones to celebrate along the way.We’re so excited to share these improvements with you. Whether your child is just starting out or already perfecting their strokes, the new program will help them strengthen their skills, build confidence, and gain water safety knowledge they’ll carry forever.
Thank you for trusting us with your child’s swimming journey.

Strengthening Service the BlueFit Swimming Way
Consistent, Supportive, and Family Focused
At BlueFit Swimming, we’re always looking for ways to make your family’s experience with us even smoother and more rewarding. Here are some exciting new elements we are introducing to support you and your child on their swimming journey:
Taking a Break Made Easy
We know life is busy, whether it’s family holidays, winter breaks, or trying out another sport. That’s why we have introduced an automated reminder system for families taking a longer break from lessons. When it’s time to re-enrol, you’ll receive a gentle reminder, and our team will also reach out personally to make the process quick and simple.
Proactive Progression
No more wondering how your child is progressing in their lessons. Our on deck team provides ongoing feedback and progress tracking, so you’ll always know how your child is developing. We believe in open, ongoing communication, celebrating milestones, identifying growth opportunities, and making sure your child is steadily building water confidence and skills.
Enhancing Our Service Culture
Behind the scenes, our Swim School Managers are taking part in new training designed to enhance and unify the way we support families across all BlueFit Swimming locations. This means that no matter where your child swims with us, you can count on the same caring, supportive, and high-quality experience.
Splash, Practise, Progress - Free Swim Time
Extra Practice Time - Coming Soon!
At BlueFit Swimming, we know that the more time children spend in the water, the more confident and capable they become. That’s why we are excited to share that extra practice time will soon be available at our dedicated BlueFit Swimming locations.
This means all currently enroled students will have the opportunity to enjoy the pool outside of lesson time, giving them the chance to practise their skills, build confidence, and have fun in a safe, supervised environment.
A reminder for our Leisure Centre families: If your child is enrolled in lessons at one of our Leisure Centre facilities, you already receive free pool access outside of lessons. It’s the perfect way to reinforce what they learn each week and encourage steady progress.
Stay tuned for more details, we can’t wait to see our swimmers making the most of this extra water time!
Keeping Kids Safer in the Water
At BlueFit Swimming, water safety is at the heart of everything we do. Every lesson, every skill, and every milestone is about giving children the confidence and ability to be safe around water, not just in the pool, but in everyday life.
What Is the National Water Safety Framework?
Developed by Royal Life Saving Australia, the National Water Safety Framework sets out clear, nationally endorsed benchmarks for swimming and water safety by age group. It provides the foundation for programs and policies aimed at reducing drowning and ensuring all Australians gain the essential aquatic skills they need.
How BlueFit Swimming Is Putting It Into Practice
We are proud to share that the National Water Safety Framework is now fully embedded in our Learn to Swim program. This means you’ll always understand exactly where your child is at against the national benchmarks. From building basic water confidence through to mastering core aquatic competencies, you’ll have a clear picture of their progress every step of the way.
Why This Matters for Families
- Clarity & Confidence: Parents can see how their child is tracking against trusted national standards.
- Skill for Life: Lessons go beyond strokes, they develop real world water safety knowledge.
- Peace of Mind: You can be confident your child is gaining skills recognised across Australia.
Why Swimming Lessons Matter So Much
You may have seen in the media recently we released our National Water Safety Report. The report revealed that 56% of children who don't meet the National Water Safety Framework standards are not in lessons.
Swimming is more than just a sport, it's a vital life skill. Living in Australia, we are surrounded by water, from beaches and rivers to backyard pools. Giving children the ability to swim and the knowledge to stay safe can make a lifelong difference.
Enroling your child in swimming lessons means:
- They’re learning how to stay safe in and around the water.
- They’re building confidence that carries over into all areas of life.
- They’re developing healthy habits through active play.
- Most importantly, they’re gaining skills that could one day save their life or the life of someone else.
At BlueFit Swimming, we’re proud to be part of that journey with your family, because every splash builds confidence, every lesson saves lives.
