More than skin deep: Teen Acne & why you should be approaching it from the Inside-Out

What are Survival Swim Lessons and How are they Different?

March 19, 2024

The Kids Aquatic Survival School (KASS) program is very different to most swimming lessons. Regular swim lessons for 1 – 4 year olds are primarily water familiarisation, not survival lessons. One in every ten fatal drownings in Australia are children under the age of 4 so it only makes sense that these are the children that are also learning how to swim and float without floatation aids or parents holding them in the water singing nursery rhymes.
