The Christmas holiday season is upon us to those who celebrate!

As we prepare for the upcoming holiday season, we would like to remind all of our families about some crucial BlueFit Swimming dates:

The last day of Learn To Swim classes will be on Sunday 22nd of December 2024.*

Classes will resume after a short break on Thursday 2nd of January 2025!

Rest assured, the direct debit system is also taking a break. As a result of this you will not be charged for classes within this period.

On behalf of our team, we would like to wish all of our students a Happy Holidays. We look forward to seeing each of you returning next year!

Is your child swim ready for summer?

With the summer fast approaching and swimming becoming more appealing at the weekends and during our free time, there is simply no better time to prioritise your child’s water safety and skills and enrol in swimming lessons!

Swimming lessons have been significantly proven to help reduce the risk of children drowning and related injuries around the water. Don’t wait until it’s too late and secure your place in our program!

Our structured learn-to-swim program places a strong emphasis on developing the safety and confidence of children in an aquatic environment, with structured levels to cater for everyone between infants all the way to squad level. Our fabulous teachers are the best and are here to teach your children all of the skills to be able to stay safe in the water and swim independently. The BlueFit Swimming program is used in more than 50 swim schools and we teach more than 50,000 students to swim each week!

We’ve opened up additional spaces in our program in the lead-up to Summer, so take action now to ensure a safe, enjoyable summer, and enrol your child with BlueFit Swimming at your closest BlueFit centre. Click here to enrol and find out more about our fantastic swim schools!

Calling all superheroes… Join our team from Monday 11th to Sunday 17th of November to celebrate water safety week in style!

This November our incredible team of swimming instructors are hosting Superhero Safety Week!

From Monday 11th of November to Sunday 19th of November, our swimming instructors will be educating our students and families about all things water safety. This includes water safety specific lessons that focus on water safety skills such as floating, treading water, basic rescue techniques and much more!

Why Superhero Safety Week?

Hero’s come in all shapes and sizes, and all environments…including water! Here at BlueFit Swimming we pride ourselves on keeping the local community safe and educating students about how to swim safely.

What is the importance of learning water safety?

As a country that is surrounded by water, it is crucial that we all learn how to remain safe and vigilant around water. BlueFit Swimming is committed to the safety of our communities and we need your help to ensure our message and skills are passed on to all children and extended families for a safer community.

Simplified Absence Policy: Mark Absent 30 Minutes Before for a Make-Up Lesson

At BlueFit, we understand that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes plans change at the last minute. To make things easier for our swim school families, we have simplified our absence policy. Now, you only need to mark your child absent up to 30 minutes before their scheduled lesson to be eligible for a make-up lesson.

We know that last-minute situations arise. Our new policy allows you the flexibility to notify us up to 30 minutes before the lesson, giving you more time to manage unexpected changes in your schedule.

If your child cannot attend their scheduled swim lesson, simply mark them as absent at least 30 minutes before the lesson starts.

This can be done quickly and easily through our online portal (or app). By doing this, you'll be able to access a make-up lesson, ensuring your child doesn't miss out on their swimming progress.

We are committed to providing a supportive and flexible environment for all our swim school families. Our new absence policy is just one of the ways we strive to make your experience with BlueFit as convenient and accommodating as possible. Thank you for your continued support and for being a valued part of our BlueFit community.

For any questions or further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to seeing your child continue to grow and excel in their swimming journey with us.

At BlueFit, we are committed to continuously improving our programs to better serve our community.

We are thrilled to announce several new enhancements to our swim school program, aimed at ensuring rapid progression, increased motivation, and easier communication for all our students and their families.

1. Identifying and Supporting Struggling Students

To ensure every student progresses swiftly and effectively, we have introduced more robust processes for identifying those who may be struggling with specific skills. Our dedicated instructors will now employ targeted assessments and personalised support plans, enabling us to address individual needs promptly and effectively.

2. Timed Swims for Advanced Students (Coming in 2025)

For our students at the Stingray level and above, we are introducing timed swims. This new initiative aims to encourage students to challenge themselves, set personal goals, and track their progress over time. Timed swims will not only enhance their competitive spirit but also provide a clear metric for improvement.

3. Motivational Skills Stickers (Coming in 2025)

To keep our young swimmers motivated and excited about their progress, we are introducing skills stickers. These colourful and engaging stickers will be awarded as students master new skills, providing them with tangible recognition of their achievements. This initiative is designed to boost morale and inspire continued effort and dedication.

4. Focusing on student’s movement

We identified the need to focus training for our instructors on continuing to move students during lessons. This circle movement is important to help students learn the continual movement required for lap swimming and how to swim alongside other swimmers. Continual movement also gives students more time to practice the skill during their lesson and more opportunity for instructors to provide feedback. You will see this being implemented more consistently across our lessons.

These improvements reflect our ongoing dedication to providing a supportive, engaging, and effective learning environment for all our swim school participants.

We look forward to seeing our students thrive and achieve their swimming goals with these new enhancements.

Thank you for being a part of our BlueFit family and for trusting us to inspire community activity through our programs.

Our customer support team is available 8:00am – 8:00pm weekdays and 8:00am- 4:00pm weekends (AEST).

This team can assist with all booking and student enquiries and can move or adjust any booking across the country, however, we understand you may need to speak directly to the site team from time to time.

We’re updating our phone system to make it easier for you to reach your swim school site directly when needed. With these changes will be an update to the voice prompts at the beginning of a call. This is to ensure your call can be directed to a site directly if you require it. Please be mindful that our team on the ground can get busy dealing with face-to-face enquiries, so if at any point they can not answer your phone call, your call will be redirected to our customer support team. If your call goes unanswered, our team will always call you back.

Please note, with this change our phone system may be down temporarily while the updates take place. We'll provide notice on our Facebook Page once we have a date from our carrier.

At BlueFit Swimming, we believe that practice is the key to mastering essential life safety skills and advancing through our swimming levels. To ensure your child is making the most of their lessons and truly learning, we encourage swimming more than once a week.

Once your child reaches the Seahorse level, we recommend swimming at least twice a week. This frequency helps reinforce what they learn each week and ensures they retain and apply their skills effectively.

Here are some of the key benefits of swimming twice a week:

✅ Enhanced Skill Development: With more frequent training sessions, students have more opportunities to refine their techniques, build endurance, and master new skills.

✅ Preparation for Competitive Swimming: For those considering Mini Squad or competitive squad programs, which require swimming three times a week, swimming twice a week lays a strong foundation.

✅ Increased Motivation: Regular swimming keeps students motivated and engaged, fostering a deeper commitment to their swimming goals.

Swimming more than once a week means your child will be assessed more frequently which will speed up their progression through the levels. This accelerated progress will improve their confidence in and out of the water. Let's make every lesson count!

Students who take up a second lesson receive a 10% discount on the additional lesson!
