Holiday Intensive Program - H.I.P
Description: As children learn more quickly when an activity is repeated, swimmers are given the chance to swim up to 5 days over one week during the school holidays for a reduced fee. This enables the muscle memory of the swimmer to be able to retain the skill more effectively. The holiday program produces significant results, especially for children who are either new swimmers, or those looking to improve on their swimming skills.
​
Class Size: Dependant on age/class level.
​
Duration: 30 or 45 minutes depending on the level, everyday for 5 days.
​
This program is available for students in all levels at Billabong Swim School. Please contact reception for more information about this program.
Carnival Prep Class
Description: Usually in the Summer school holidays we will run a Carnival Preparation Class for children swimming at Dolphin, Stingray, Swordfish and Mako levels. The class focuses on Starts and Turns and helps to build children's confidence in swimming in an outdoor heated 25 meter pool, which is the setting of most school carnivals.
​

Duration: 30 minutes

The lessons are tailored to the individual needs of the swimmer and may follow the same program as our group classes, or they may need to be adjusted to best suit the needs and abilities of the swimmer.
