How do I know which level my child should be in?
Our Level Discovery Journey has been designed to make choosing the right class simple.
You’ll answer a few questions about your child’s age, swimming experience and current abilities, and we’ll guide you towards the most suitable level and class.
What if I’m still unsure about my child’s level?
No problem at all — we’re here to help.
If you’re unsure after completing the Level Discovery Journey, you’ll have the option to book a call with our team. We can talk through your child’s swimming experience and help you find the right starting point.
You can also contact us by phone or email at any time before your first lesson. We’re always happy to answer questions and put your mind at ease.
What happens during my child’s first lesson?
Your first lesson is all about helping your child feel comfortable, confident and excited to be at Saltwater.
We will get to know your child, observe their swimming ability and make sure they're comfortable in the water. We'll use this time to confirm that they've been placed in the right level and make any adjustments if needed.
You don't need to worry about getting everything perfect before you arrive — we're here to help
What happens if my child is nervous or doesn't want to get in?
That's completely normal — especially for a child's first lesson or when starting somewhere new.
Our teachers are experienced in helping children build confidence at their own pace. We won't force a child into the water before they're ready. We'll work with them through play and gentle encouragement to help them feel safe and comfortable.
If your child needs a little extra time, that's okay. Building confidence is part of learning to swim.

Eloise was an amazing swimming instructor for my son today. Her teaching techniques were not only effective but also engaging, making the class both enjoyable and educational. She showed great patience and encouragement, helping my son feel confident in the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! Thank you, Eloise!
Matthew Crea
My niece and nephew absolutely love their swimming lessons. The teachers make every session enjoyable while still focusing on safety and proper technique. Their confidence in the water has grown so quickly so grateful for the amazing team!
Lara
Our son has been attending for about 18 months now and we have been so happy with the swim school right from the very beginning. All the teachers and staff are lovely, the facilities are great, and our son has learnt new skills and improved immensely. He’s very attached to a few teachers in particular (Mariskia and Leanne) but they are all great. Would recommend 100%
Krysten Frost
My daughter was so scared of getting into the pool and her instructor was very calm and understanding. The swim school is beautiful and the staff are all friendly and very helpful. My daughter is now comfortable in the pool and is happy to try swim by herself. Both my kids like their instructors and love going to swimming lessons. Thank you saltwater swim school.
JT Attard
What a fantastic place! The staff here are absolutely amazing — so friendly, calm, and incredibly patient with the kids. They really take the time to make each child feel comfortable and confident. My son is 4 and has just started here, and I can’t believe how quickly he’s taken to it. He came out of his very first session with the biggest smile, already asking when he could come back. Now he’s counting down the days until his next session! It’s such a relief as a parent to see your child so happy and excited to go.
Marketta Macdonald
We have attended many swim school in the region never really satisfied until now! We could not be happier here! They communicate progress and review regularly providing feedback, the entire facilities are incredible, the space is comfortable, we have Gary and he’s amazing – my son loves coming to swimming now where before he wanted to quit! The staff are lovely and the ice cream after class is a bonus!
Allison KayAnn
My kids have been to four swim schools in the Geelong area and NONE have had such positive vibes, couple with skilled instructors. The entire pool is lit up with windows looking onto the street, music is pumping as a packed water aerobics class kicks off and young and old fill the pool for lessons. It doesn’t stop there, the interior design is thoughtful, with shower facilities that are hard to beat for style. Love it. Councils take note.

We’ve been attending since opening and love the swim school for our child, especially having no chlorine and warm temperatures year round. Our child has grown in confidence and most importantly enjoys coming to classes. The instructors and entire staff team are genuinely lovely people and very good at their respective roles. The facilities are spotlessly clean and well maintained. We also really appreciate their flexibility with make-up classes when things don’t go to plan and are unable to attend. Overall would highly recommend the swim school.
Rachael Heffer
Both my daughters swim at Armstrong Creek Saltwater Swim School and it’s hands-down the best we’ve tried in Geelong.and we’ve tried a few! The instructors are highly skilledand while they’re definitely firm, it’s in the best way. They focus on teaching proper swimming skills instead of spending the whole lesson diving for sinkies at the bottom of the pool. The kids actually learn to swim. The girls love it, are making great progress, and they come out of the water not smelling like a public pool, which is a huge bonus. Highly recommend!
Joanne L
This is an excellent swim school. I have 3 children who have attended this swim school and I am very confident in the instructors. Katie and Jamie are very experienced and have such a wonderful encouraging manner and are skilled at challenging and extending their students. Couldn’t be happier. We have participated in both term and school holiday programs and could highly recommend both.
Karen Tabone
My 4yo son LOVES swim teacher Jamie! Great lessons and something my child looks forward to every week! Great level of water safety and great skills learned every lesson. Highly recommended!
Andy Ruddock
I join everyone here in giving my highest recommendation to this school. The transformation in my daughter’sconfidence and enjoyment of swimming has been nothing short of astounding. The staff are *fantastic*.
Jodie Hemer
The staff are all well dressed and have matching tops, very easy to recognise who works there. This swim school is so clean and also has great facilities in the bathroom areas. The swim teachers were very bubbly in the water which is just great as that is what children need. All I can say is I wish I was lucky enough to work in a place like this year’s ago.
Kat Black
The atmosphere and employees are all really friendly and helpful with whatever we need, they always go beyond to try and get us what we need sorted. The lessons are all very well constructed and adaptable to the children’s needs. The teachers always make learning fun.
Neha Sharma
We made the move to Saltwater Swim School when they first opened and couldn’t be happier. My 5 year old thoroughly enjoys his lessons, Michael was amazing with him. The staff are supportive and amazing and we really feel like we are part of a community!
Jenni Munn Bradley
The teachers are excellent. They are professional, friendly, responsive and patient. The owners and management team are equally responsive, professional and helpful. The swim school is welcoming and has a real community feel, there’s also a great wee coffee shop, with good coffee, ice cream and cakes, great for me while I’m watching my kids and for the kids after the lesson.
Fiona Wrzaszcz
I enroled my son to start in term 2 and was incredibly impressed with Jaymee-lea! She was outstandingly helpful and professional, working with me to find a time that would suit my busy schedule. She really went above and beyond, I’m looking forward to my son staying swimming lessons with her!
