School Swimming
Programs
This year we have implemented “a
code of conduct amongst our swimming teachers and have made it mandatory for
them to have their blue cards on display at all times whilst teaching in our
school based swimming programs. We take our School Swimming Programs
seriously & boast that our team of learn to swim instructors is second to
none here in SEQ. Some of the team members have been involved in the swimming
industry for over 20 years, most though have been instructing for up to 10
years. Our junior swimming instructors are
partnered with these experienced learn to swim teachers, ensuring your
students receive the very best tuition possible. Updated copies of resumes
and qualifications are kept on file on the premises where you are most
welcome to study their qualifications and experience at any time. Indoor heated swimming pools, all year round swimming Gould Adams Park Aquatic Centre is a
state-of-the-art aquatic facility, able to provide schools with more choices
and flexibility for their school swimming programs. Even the most skeptical
parent will be pleased by its indoor swimming pool’s controlled temperatures
for water and atmosphere. Gould Adams Park Aquatic Centre is Credentials We are a fully-endorsed swim school
for the Royal Life Saving Society, Austswim and Swim Australia. Our
internationally acclaimed Swim & Survive swimming Programs ensures
children of all levels develop on a pathway towards a swimming skills with a sound
sense of water safety, swimming & survival skills. Class Sizes This year we are proud to announce two different
options for school swimming ratios Option One One fully qualified swimming teacher to 8 students.
This ratio exceeds the Australian standard, however has recognized may of the
school swimmers we see have not been introduced to the basic skills of swimming
and are not competent in the water. SO therefore smaller classes will greatly
assist their development and allow these students to catch up with their swimming
and aquatic skills quickly. Option Two Our class sizes are kept to the Australian standards of approximate
1:12 ratio (instructor to children).Although, where possible, there are times
this may vary with assistance or junior teachers under training with the smaller
swimming classes for non-swimmers and children with special requirements. Instructors
Consistency
However if a school chooses to come
in a block sessions Monday to Friday, we may not be able to supply the same swimming
instructors and may have some substitute swimming instructors on various
days. It is important to schools to make
the distinction between us and other swimming organizations in the school
scwimming programs. We do not use unqualified or inexperienced staff nor will
we ever compromise our quality or safety services for lower charges. However,
we are well aware of your parents and the schools financial restraints. Hence
you will find we offer highly competitive prices with value. We offer a full money back guarantee to
parents who children attend the full swimming program and have options for
concessions during the off peak terms. Please note, children must wear
swimming caps and proper swimming attire at all times!
Parents attendance We welcome parents to come along, watch our swimming sessions
and to fully support and encourage their children provided they do not
disrupt the sessions. However, it is important for parents to realize water
safety and swimming skills are not learnt overnight and they should have
realistic expectations for the course of these swimming sessions. Program Content Normal sessions are 40 minutes in duration, depending on
your schools timetable and bus availability. All Children are graded on their ability and placed in
appropriate classes. Children do have the opportunity to progress to higher
groups provided our instructors feel they are capable. (Interference from
parents will not be tolerated especially if unrealistic demands are having a
negative effect or placing a child in danger!) Our teaching style ensures maximum participation.
Children are not left standing on the side for long periods, whilst
encouragement & support is given throughout the swimming sessions to all
children.

formalized squad sessions, developing & improving fitness, strength and

professional staff strives to cater for your students' needs; therefore all
our programs are evaluated annually to ensure a high standard is maintained
and improved year after year. As in previous years, we are determined to
ensure that our swimming program operates smoothly and all your children
receive the very best service we can provide. We welcome, principal, p & c‘s, interested teachers and
parents to view our swimming and water safety programs, school swimming services

for Schools Unbelievable Savings to Parents At times
some parent’s perception of “value”
can be slightly misconstrued. Therefore we have included this paragraph
and urge schools to promote the value in this service to their parents. As an
example, a normal entry to the pool is $3.50, a normal ˝ swimming lesson is
$14.50, a swim cap is $4. Compared to
$7.50 perk or $6.50 off-peak in our school program. Therefore
children attending an “8 session school program” are saving over $80.00 (almost 50% discount) & receiving an
extra 1 hour and 20 minutes of additional instruction! Swimming -Good health
activity Dear Kerre
17 September 1999 On behalf of my staff, and more importantly
the students who attended your swimming classes, I wish to convey my thanks
for a job well done. Reports related to the manner in which your classes were
organized have been relayed to me in a most positive manner. I have also viewed your system of
certification and applaud you for your actions in this regard. Please accept
my thanks in the knowledge that the efforts you have put into your
organization and planning has been justified. Congratulations, Brian Clark - Principal TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I have been taking my grades 1 and 3 through
Kerre Burley’s Learn to swim programs for the past four years. I have always
taken the children in the winter months as the program is less congested and
the instructors find it is more convenient time of the year for this age
group. The weather is not an issue as the children
get changed in the indoor pool enclosure so they are not exposed to the cold
air. The indoor pools temperature is far better suited to the smaller children
and the nervous beginners. I thoroughly recommend this time of the year for
your infant programs. Kim Thomasson Physical Education Specialist
