Our program is Stepped to create Success – with each level having clear technique goals and outcomes. We create safer, stronger, superior swimmers.
Water Babies
At Aquatic Achievers, we believe that a lifelong love of swimming begins with joyful, safe, and nurturing early experiences in the water. Our Water Babies Program is thoughtfully designed for children from 4 months to 3 years, guiding them through a progressive journey of water confidence, safety awareness, and foundational swimming skills. Each level—Starfish, Clownfish, Octopus, and Turtle—is tailored to meet your child’s developmental stage, combining gentle support from parents or carers with playful, skill-based activities, that get real swimming results. Through floating, breath control, submersion, and early propulsion, children build trust in the water, strengthen their bodies, and learn essential safety skills —all while having fun.
Learn to Swim
In our Learn to Swim Program young swimmers begin their journey toward confident, independent swimming. Designed for children from 2.5 years and up, these levels focus on building essential water safety skills, breath control, floating, and early stroke development. Whether your child is just starting out in Penguin, gaining independence in Seal, refining technique in Stingray, or building endurance in Dolphin, each stage is carefully structured to support their growth, with multiple skills embedded into each level journey. Our experienced teachers create a fun, encouraging environment where swimmers learn through repetition, time-on-task and positive reinforcement—setting them up for a lifetime of safe, strong and skilled swimming.
Stroke Development
The Stroke Development Program at Aquatic Achievers is designed for swimmers who are ready to refine their technique, build endurance, and master advanced aquatic skills. In the Marlin, Barracuda, and Shark levels, swimmers progress from strong foundational strokes to race-ready performance. These stages focus on improving freestyle and backstroke efficiency, introducing breaststroke and butterfly, and developing skills like tumble turns, dives, and pace clock awareness. With expert coaching and a supportive environment, swimmers gain the confidence, control, and stamina needed for squad-level training and beyond.
Squads
Our squads represent the pinnacle of stroke development, where swimmers demonstrate mastery across all four competitive strokes—freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly—as well as the individual medley. Designed for advanced swimmers preparing for fitness squads, water polo, surf club or competitive training, this level focuses on endurance, technical precision, and race-ready skills. Swimmers complete long-distance sets with correct starts, turns, and finishes, and begin integrating advanced training elements like pace clock use, interval sets, and lane etiquette. Our squad swimmers are confident, capable, and ready to take their swimming to the next level.

Yes! Unlike some other swim programs that are guided more by age, our Solo1 swimming program makes your child’s growing ability the key to their progress.

How do you assess and track the progress of children in swimming lessons?
Our Swim Instructors and Supervisors will make regular assessments of your child’s progress as they attend lessons. These assessments will be compared against our swimming program’s clear skill goals for each level, to ensure your child is on track to meet the expected milestones. For ease of access and convenience, you will also receive a mix of in-person and e-feedback on the development of your child’s swimming skills.
You are also welcome to watch during lessons to observe your child’s journey in learning how to swim. This will give you the opportunity to witness their progress firsthand, as well as ask our team any questions you may have about your child’s progress.
