Swimming Assessment

If your child is over 7 years old and you’re unsure if they’re ready for swim club, we recommend bringing them for a swimming assessment. These are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 5pm in the lane closest to the Centre Pointe Club building (look for the white sign at the end of the lane). The coach will ask your child to swim 25 yards freestyle breathing to the side, and the other 3 strokes. Based on their performance, the coach will recommend either a swimming group or lessons. Some children who achieve the prerequisite for Otters (intermediate group) may benefit from lessons too (e.g. one day for lessons and one for club swimming for endurance).
