Trusted by the Community Since 1980
For over four decades, Big Fish Little Fish and Freeway Fitness have been at the heart of the local community, delivering high-quality swimming instruction to thousands of children, adults, and schools. Our mission has always been simple: to help people of all ages and abilities gain confidence in the water, develop essential life skills, and discover the joy of swimming.
Since 1980, we’ve proudly taught generations of families—some of our earliest swimmers are now bringing their own children to our classes! We believe swimming is more than just a sport or activity; it’s a critical life skill that promotes health, safety, confidence, and lifelong well-being.
Swimming for Every Age and Stage
We offer a full range of swimming lessons tailored to every stage of development—from infants taking their first splashes, to school children refining their strokes, to adults conquering water fears or training for fitness. No matter your starting point, our patient and professional instructors are here to guide you every step of the way.
Babies & Toddlers (Big Fish Little Fish)
Our parent-and-baby classes are designed to introduce infants as young as 6 weeks old to the water in a gentle, nurturing environment. These sessions are playful, sensory-rich, and built around bonding—encouraging early water confidence through songs, movement, and interaction. We use progressive techniques that promote natural development and prepare little ones for independent swimming.
Children’s Lessons
Our children’s programs cater to all skill levels, from beginners learning to float and kick, to confident swimmers working on technique, stamina, and safety. Small class sizes and a structured progression system ensure each child gets the attention they need. Our engaging instructors make learning fun while emphasizing water safety, resilience, and self-esteem.
School & Educational Programmes
We work closely with local schools and educational institutions, offering curriculum-based swimming lessons that meet national standards. Our experienced team provides lessons that align with physical education goals, supporting students’ physical literacy and ensuring they meet key milestones. Whether your school needs weekly lessons, term blocks, or one-off sessions, we can create a tailored program to suit your needs.
Adult Lessons & Fitness
It’s never too late to learn! Whether you’re an adult beginner, looking to improve technique, or returning to swimming for fitness, we offer supportive, non-judgmental classes that help you feel comfortable and empowered. Our instructors specialize in helping adults overcome water anxiety and find freedom and strength in the pool. We also offer stroke improvement clinics and aqua fitness for all levels.
