It’s one of the questions we get asked most — “When should my child stop swimming lessons?”
The truth is most children stop too soon.
Learning to swim isn’t just about ticking off milestones or swimming a few lengths. It’s about building confidence, stamina, and safety in the water. A good rule of thumb is that your child should be able to swim 25 metres in all four strokes without help.
This isn’t about perfect technique (you wouldn’t use butterfly to self-rescue) but about being strong, capable, and confident in any situation.
Continuing lessons until this stage gives your child lasting water confidence and physical strength, skills that stay with them for life.
