OWNER
Swim Culture was founded by Daniel Holmes in 2022. He started his career in aquatics in 2007 when he started swim teaching and now has 18 years’ experience in the aquatic industry.
Having a child of his own, he understands the importance of teaching children to swim.
Daniel has always enjoyed any form of teaching or coaching and with a love of the water since he was a toddler owing a swim school is the perfect match.
SWIM CULTURE
Swim Culture believe there is a real need for a specialised facility to teach babies and children critical first skills in the water in our community.
Previously kids have learnt in aquatic centres along with squad swimmers, public swimmers and other members of the community. These facilities were often noisy and intimidating for little beginners, who need a calm and more personal environment to help them build confidence and those tentative water early skills.
Personalised Learning
We tailor lessons to each swimmer’s age, ability, and confidence level — helping them progress at their own pace.
To support this, we run only one class at a time, creating a calm and focused environment with minimal distractions.
With a maximum of four students per Learn to Swim class, each child receives more individual attention, faster feedback, and greater opportunity to practice and grow.
Accreditation
Swim Culture is a member of Life Saving Victoria.
Our program is tailored from years of experience from the Swim and Survive program as well as AustSwim courses and professional developments.
Here are Swim Culture we focus on the fundamentals, from survival at a young age, to correct stroke techniques and endurance.
All learn to swim classes have a maximum of 4 students per class.
All classes run for 30 minutes.
Any children who are not toilet trained outside of swimming lessons must wear a swimming nappy.
Onsite parking is available at our centre. We ask that customers park within the marked spaces in the driveway.
Swim Culture is not responsible for any damage to vehicles whilst parking at the centre.
Our centre offers unisex change facilities for your convenience, consisting of baby change tables and showers.
To keep babies and children comfortable, we have a constant water temperature of between 32-33 degrees over Summer and 35-36 over Winter.
Our lessons are $20 per lesson. Our lesson runs by school terms.
Eg. If a term is 10 weeks long, lesson fees would cost $200 per student.
Yes – our philosophy is to have the same teacher each week as this is the best for your child’s learning. Whilst we do endeavour to maintain the same teacher, the reality is that there are also times when teachers do change or are absent for your lesson.
Unfortunately, no. But you can take it in turns! Our small intimate pools are built to give your child the optimal learning experience free of distraction.
Term fees are paid upfront prior to each term commencing.
An invoice will be generated and emailed for the term to be paid via direct deposit.
In classes with children under 3 a parent is required in the water.
We are leveraging off the trust built with a parent/guardian to help them through initial stages of conditioning and confidence.
We also recommend that you wear a top that can be easily held by your child such as a rash shirt.
This depends on availability of teachers and classes. As private lesson times are limited, give us a call and have a chat to Daniel to discuss your child’s needs so we can best cater to their learning abilities.
