Let's make our children safer
Schools Programme
We hold a pivotal role of ensuring the safety and providing key life skills to children in the community. Learning to swim is as important as learning to read and write, which is why Northern Arena’s award winning learn to swim school focuses on changing and saving lives in and around water.
Our learn to swim, water safety programmes and school sports can easily cater for 20 to 500 children at a time. Events and programs are held during school time and can be tailored to suit your schools needs.
Learn to Swim and Water Safety Program
The Schools Learn to Swim program teaches children from years 1-9 to be more comfortable and safer in the water.
The program:
-
Provides individual student assessments at the beginning and end of the programme with feedback to each student.
-
Can cater swimming lessons for all levels and abilities.
-
Teaches students to swim and survive by learning correct stroke technique and swim fitness.
Alongside the schools learn to swim program is an extremely important and comprehensive, practical boat and water safety module. The Northern Arena School Water Safety and Boat Safety Programme enhances confidence in the water and teaches students key boat and water safety skills with all equipment provided. Key survival skills include:
-
Floating
-
Treading Water (in calm and moving water)
-
Swimming to safety*
-
Submersion’s and searching
-
Unaided entry and exits
-
Life jacket education, skills and practices including ‘HELP’ (Heat Escape Lessening Posture)
-
Boat education, skills and practices
-
Boat practices in life jackets
*Distances adjusted for each child’s ability.
The Schools Learn to Swim program typically runs over 10 x 30 minute sessions for a two week period, or for our older students, 5 x one hour sessions over a one week period. However, we can also tailor our structure to meet your schools requirements.
School Swimming Sports
Let Northern Arena host your school swimming sports day.
Our 8 lane swimming pool is separate from our other learn to swim pools so your swimming sports carnival can be held privately. The swimming pool area is designed for viewing pleasure with elevated, tiered seating available for over 300 students, parents, grandparents, friends and family to watch the swimming races. (extra seating available).
The enclosed swimming pool area also has its very own PA system complete with microphone which allows you to communicate effectively with the crowd.
We can provide all the gear you need to make your day stress-free and run as smoothly as possible. We can provide a highly trained lifeguard, use of recording tables, extra chairs for timekeepers and spectators and we can organise the use of starting equipment.
Hire fees for the eight lane swimming pool start at $165 per hour (plus GST). We are flexible with times allowing you to maximize your day swimming at Northern Arena.
