At BlueFit Swimming, your child’s safety and skill development are our top priorities. That’s why our Learn to Swim program follows the National Swimming and Water Safety Framework - a nationwide approach to ensuring every Australian child develops essential swimming and water safety skills.

What’s the Framework About?

The Framework sets clear goals at key ages - 6, 12 and 17 - helping guide children through vital stages of aquatic education. It focuses on three core stages of learning:

• Fundamental Stage: Where confidence in the water begins, with fun and safe water experiences.
• Acquisition Stage: Where children develop core strokes and safety behaviours.
• Application Stage: Where swimmers build real-world skills for safe aquatic participation, including basic rescue and survival techniques.

Why It Matters to You

This structure helps ensure your child gains age appropriate skills to enjoy the water safely and confidently - whether at the pool, beach, or river. It also supports long term development so your child grows into a capable and confident swimmer.

How BlueFit Supports Your Child

Our qualified instructors use the Framework to plan fun, structured, and progressive lessons that match your child’s age and ability. With regular assessments and ongoing support, we’re here to help your child thrive in the water.
