Our mission is that every one of our students learns to swim in a safe and nurturing environment
At Ready Steady Swim we believe that learning is best achieved in a fun environment and this is especially important when teaching children to swim. Our years of successfully teaching students aged 3 months to 5 years have proven that children learn best through the inclusion of interactive games, activities, repetition and song and this is the basis of our teaching method.
Every child is an individual and we teach each student to swim at a pace that best suits their abilities. This enhances their personal growth and builds confidence and knowledge of safety in and around the water and general confidence in all areas of their lives.

cherubfish
Appropriately named for your little cherub’s first experience with swimming. The first class begins with your baby’s initiation into the water and the introduction of gentle exercises on the baby’s front and back. Each week as the class progresses, the confidence of baby and parent grows immensely.
moonfish
A progression from Cherubfish, the second level of our baby course continues with the repetition and development of swimming exercises, bringing with it a wider range of experience and freedom of movement for your baby to enjoy the water.
butterflyfish
By this level, progression is further developed as your baby learns different holds and experiences an increase in strength. Children work at their own pace and stay at this level until they are ready to move on to Firefish.
firefish
Your babies are now toddlers who are stronger and more accustomed to the water. This next stage introduces more water confidence building exercises, and fun learning through song, nursery rhymes and toys. The children are introduced to noodles, which is a further stage to releasing the child’s dependence on the parent.
This is the perfect start for Children who are new to swimming. Teaching accommodates beginners and those who have gone through the levels. Beginners find themselves in an environment where they can observe their potential and learn at their own pace whilst having fun through interactive learning.
dragonfish
This next stage for toddlers maintains its focus on water confidence, fun and games. We continue perfecting body positioning in the water, and correct kicking and arm exercises are introduced.
lionfish
At this level, the children are confident and are swimming on their own. More concentration is given to working with noodles and floats to improve front and back work, breathing exercises are introduced, and priority is given to correct form. Deepwater work is an important aspect of this course as children learn to dive and explore beneath the water.

Our Instructor
Spiroulla has been teaching babies, toddlers and children to swim since 2006. She is a fully qualified ASA instructor with life-saving qualifications. The special joy for her is working with babies from three months to preschool, watching them grow in confidence, and the memorable moment they can swim on their own. Children take to Spiroulla, often looking forward to the next class when they can see her again. This has led to her teaching generations of siblings over the years, an especially gratifying experience.
