Welcome To Oceans Of Imagination

There are few things in life more important than teaching little ones how to swim. 

Oceans of Imagination puts children at the heart to give a lifelong love of swimming. The immersive program has been built around engaging characters and settings for little ones between 0–5-years old, to learn core aquatic skills, water safety and swimming strokes. 

Reward and recognition will incentivise children to learn and progress, as well as help them and their families gain a deep sense of pride in their swimming journey.

Introducing the Swimvincibles – a group of swimming superheroes on a mission to help children of all ages learn a skill for life. They’ve ventured from their magical islands to share their water confidence, swimming skills, and love of the water with babies, toddlers, and children through fun adventures and play. 

With their unique skill sets and distinct personalities, their stories inspire children to become Swimvincible. As they journey through the ‘Oceans of Imagination’ little ones will be guided by our team of Swimvincibles on their adventure, earning Water Babies Treasures and swimming awards along the way.

Pearl is our youngest Swimvincible and keen to learn everything. For our littlest water babies, they’ll join Pearl’s team to learn through purposeful play, singing and repetition. We use supportive swim positions and activities to help your baby gain their confidence in the water from the get-go.

We'll help them kick their legs, while reaching for toys in the pool will encourage them to stretch out to develop their swimming arms. They'll start their first steps in aquatic breathing through activities like blowing bubbles and their first underwater swims

We'll also work on building their physical ability and strengthening their core. And at the heart of everything we do is safety. We'll teach your baby to hold on to the side of the pool and develop the strength to pull themselves out should they get into trouble.

Saffi is our Water Safety Officer and is always shining a light on the importance of being safe in and around water at Lighthouse Lagoon. With her bustling energy, little ones aged around 1 to 2 years old will join her team to progress their swimming skills and learn new strokes.

They'll now start to use their arms and legs on their own and be able to travel small distances in the water by themselves. We'll use songs, games and activities to help them learn through guided play. Through group activities, our teachers will provide the environment to encourage interaction in the class, helping nurture your little one's social development. Here, your child will further their safety knowledge, and start to learn how to move across the side of the pool and climb out.

Echo is our Head of Scientific Research, and will teach toddlers around 2 to 3 years of age all the physical, emotional and cognitive benefits swimming can bring. He’ll be on hand to educate and excite swimmers in his team to continue achieving their lesson outcomes. They'll now look to progress to swimming a few metres on both their front and back, with a little support.

Their aquatic breathing will now have developed, and they'll start to blow bubbles rhythmically. This is important in developing their front crawl technique, and we'll encourage them to start to roll to breathe when swimming short distances. We'll start to teach your little basic treading water. We'll theme our activities to help grow your little one's imaginations, using storytelling and helping them to communicate their emotions. 

Watch and see how you’ll progress your swimming skills and water confidence in Team Echo.

Sculli is our Head of Core Aquatic Skills, who is always gliding around the Floating Forest, ready to educate new swimmers she meets. She’ll support children around 3 to 4 years old to refine their rotation, floating and breathing skills in lessons to grow their water confidence. Now your little one is really showing off their strength. They'll learn to push off from the wall on their front and back, working on streamlining their body position. They will also gain confidence to swim without trying to touch the floor or using any floats, and we'll develop their independence more so they're able to swim longer distances. 

They'll learn how to swim down to the pool floor and pick up an object, and will be able to sit and dive into the water independently and swim. We'll teach them how to perform a roly-poly in the water, that long-term could become a fancy tumble-turn!

Finn is our Chief Swim Co-Ordinator, ready to teach our 4 to 5 year old water babies to be swimming superstars. Living on Cloudfish Cove, he’ll guide your child to all the remaining Water Babies Treasures and on through graduation to become a Swimvincible themselves!

In their final year of their Water Babies journey, your child's swimming ability will amaze you. And now, not only do we teach them to save themselves, but they'll also be learning to demonstrate how to help a friend in danger and follow pool safety rules. And you'll really see how far they've come (a push and glide and swim for around 10 metres on their front and back to be precise!). Those bubble dips in year one have now transformed into turning their head and rotating their body to breathe as they show off their swimming strokes. This is the year where it all comes together. 

Click below to see how your lessons with Finn will take you on your last leg of your Water Babies journey, developing independent swimming strokes, and collecting your remaining Water Babies Treasures.

As you progress through our magical Oceans of Imagination world with The Swimvincibles, you’ll visit mystical islands to collect Water Babies Treasures and swimming awards.

You’ll celebrate everything you’ve learnt and worked towards in lessons during ‘badge weeks,’ where you’ll visit Cloudfish Cove, Floating Forest, Lighthouse Lagoon to collect your badge, and celebrate your achievements with class mates, as you’ve all worked so hard on learning new swimming skills! Watch below to travel through your experience with us.

We have four magical islands for your little one to discover – they cover a mix of core aquatic skills, swimming strokes and water safety milestones, created and defined with our Water Babies in mind. Each week with the help of our Swimvincibles your little one will learn key swimming skills to build their water confidence.

Cloudfish Cove is where swimming strokes rule and home to Finn where you'll perfect your swimming strokes. You'll visit Sculli on Floating Forest to practice your core aquatic skills. On Lighthouse Lagoon, alongside Saffi, you'll work on everything Water Safety. You'll also take a trip to Mystery Island where legend says this remote island can become whatever you want it to be.
