We are passionate about quality aquatic education and child safety. At Funkey Swim we believe that learning to swim can contribute to saving your child’s life. That is why we developed the best baby swimming and learn to swim programs – developmentally and age appropriate. Swimmers move through our tailored programs, aimed at developing the ‘whole’ child and delivering consistent results.
Our progressive programs and engaged teachers will motivate your child to swim through our levels and develop the confidence and skills needed to be happy and safer in the water. And we are here to celebrate their achievements along the way as there is no greater feeling for us than seeing kids accomplish new skills.
Parents form a great part of our swim community and their child(ren)’s journey with us. We always love hearing their experiences and we will do everything we can to help them with their busy schedules, finding suitable class times and arrange for make-up classes. Parents can also follow their child(ren)’s progress through our easy to use online portal and app.

Our programs
Our Funkey Splashers program is for the little swimmers, from birth to 3 years old. We offer a unique bonding experience to mums and their newborn, while we focus on a gentle (re)introduction to the water. Babies will acquire the skills needed to start their learn-to-swim adventure, as they gain confidence to manoeuvre through water independently for several metres in the correct body position.
By the end of this program, your child will have completed a gentle and happy transition to participating in a lesson without their parent or carer in the water, ready to learn directly with our teaching team members.
Our Funkey Starters program is developed for children aged between 3 and 5 years who are happy and excited to be in the water and start lessons, but who still need to gain confidence or learn how to swim independently.
Our experienced teachers will guide your child, focusing on breath control, balance, submersions, floating and paddling.
We are using our unique games-based boat system to assist with body position and floatation, while increasing confidence with correct body position for independent swimming.
Our Funkey Strokes program is a progressive approach that ensures children learn with others at a similar level and progress through our different levels.
We incorporate a swim-float-swim sequence into our lessons, to ensure each swimmer through our program is provided with a solid foundation to their aquatic education, to make them safer in and around the water.
Our Funkey Strokes lessons are conducted without parental assistance in the pool, learning independently from our experienced and qualified team of teachers.
