Drowning is the number one cause of accidental death in children 0 - 5 in Australia

Many parents feel that lessons for very young toddlers or infants are not necessary because they are always watching. And although supervision is the most important deterrent to drowning, who can say they constantly keep their eyes on an active two-year old? That's why it is so important to make sure that your child is Waterwise - it could save their life!

Flotation Devices (Water wings, floaties, swim sweaters etc) are NOT the Answer!

Water wings, floaties, swim sweaters, and the like - These devices put the child in a vertical posture, opposite of the proper posture for swimming, they cause panic when removed, can interfere with learning an efficient swimming stroke, and may cause a false sense of security in both the child and the parent. They seem to sanction a lack of supervision. Even a life jacket is no substitute for supervision or for knowing how to swim.

4worldlovers: When you have children of any age who need to learn to swim but you’re not sure where to find the best facilities and teachers, you’ve come to the right swimming school.

Giving your child the gift of life through confidence and competence in the water is one of the most important responsibilities. Drowning is the leading cause of death in children under five, according to Royal Life Saving Australia.

4worldlovers: Waterbabies is a unique and highly specialised aquatic development program for families with babies aged from 10 weeks to 5 years.

We are a small family run business and together with a wonderful team, we devote our passion, knowledge and expertise to give families a rewarding experience that goes far beyond a swimming lesson.

The bonding connection of love and trust is important for a strong foundation in life. Benefits of the program are immediate to babies and their parents and joyful family interaction flows on to promote community awareness as it is shared and experienced by others.

4worldlovers: I started my two eldest children in regular swim classes from the age of 6 months, but realised after 2 years of this that if they fell in a pool, they would still not know what to do and would sink to the bottom. I wanted my children to learn to survive in water, however there had been some negative publicity about infant swim survival programs being ‘traumatising’ for children. Not only as a mum but as a Clinical Psychologist I had hesitations about this, but after much research of Kids Aquatic Survival School I didn’t feel there was any evidence of this and I enrolled my children in their program. As expected, for the first few lessons my boys cried as they were being pushed outside what they were comfortable with and they were also separated from me as I was not in the pool with them. Very quickly however they settled with their instructor, whom always projected a warm demeanour and was child centred in their approach, and within a few weeks they were able to roll over and float. I think one of the strengths of the program is that the children attend lessons daily, reinforcing the skills and habituating to the water within a matter of weeks. I now have peace of mind that if they got into trouble in water that they would confidently float…and survive. By the end of the program my boys were confident in the water, having fun, and clearly NOT traumatised. Three of my four children have now completed the swim survival program and I will most definitely enrol my fourth child when she starts crawling.

I searched high and low for a survival school for my daughter 5 years ago, and upon finding KASS I enrolled her straight away. Its amazing to watch your child learn in such a short period to ‘Survive’ in the water. I enrolled my son when he turned 2 shortly after. Since then my children have such confidence in the water and also attend KASS stroke lessons, once a week. I can not say enough about how great KASS programs are and would definitely recommend them to any parent with a pool or living near water.

We used KASS for my 3 year old son, who although attending ‘normal’ swimming lessons was not competent in the water. As we spend a lot of time near water at beaches, near rivers and have a pool in our back garden I was looking for something to improve his abilities to help save himself if the situation arose. We found this in KASS – Rachelle was friendly, helpful and informative with letting us know which programme would be best for our son and Richard was firm, friendly and fun in the water. After only a few weeks our son was able to float properly for lengthy periods of time and learnt to swim for the wall/edge rather than the instructor (who would not be there in an emergency situation). We were very happy overall and plan to send our next child there as soon as he is old enough!

I have been going to Kass for about 3-4 years now and I think it is the most amazing survival course any parent needs to give their children. I have seen first hand what can happen if your child falls in a body of water. This course teaches the children the skills they require to survive in the water. Richard and Rachelle do an amazing job, I would recommend KASS to anyone with children.

I have watched my friends and family take their kids to swimming lessons each week year after year…spending a huge amount of money with very slow results. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with what Kids Aquatic Survival School have done for us. All three of our kids have mastered swimming safely to the edge, rolling and floating all whilst fully clothed within 6 weeks of the program. We are lucky that it was only just around the corner for us but it is absolutely worth travelling across Sydney for…after those 6 weeks we have not needed to take our kids back to lessons until they need to learn strokes at 4-5 years. We have just had a baby and he will be signed up very soon!

4worldlovers: The Biggest Little Swim School was opened in 2016 with several partners this was after many years of collaborative work, as of January 2022 The Biggest Little Swim School is owned and run by Director Barb Worth. I believe that what we have today is a swim school that I can be proud of, that is user friendly and fosters a positive environment for adults, parents, babies and children to learn to swim.


Our simple aim is the delivery of high quality swimming lessons, from Babies to Adults, and we feel most importantly, to educate families on how to be safe in, on, and around water.

The programs offered are of a very high standard and exceptional quality. Classes are offered in a small and private setting, with exclusive use of the pool and our facilities during sessions.


Swimming lessons have been widely proven to assist in lowering the drowning statistics in Australia. We understand what families want and need. We believe children respond better in a fun learning environment that fosters encouragement and feelings of success. Parents need a stress-free environment that allows them to interact with their child in the water, or enables them to watch in a controlled and close environment.


We incorporate play and songs into our classes so that Babies and Preschoolers can willingly explore the water’s buoyancy along with its cause and effect. Movement and balance with our School age clients encouraging maximum skill development. Body awareness and appropriate information allowing our Adults to develop intrinsic feedback along with extrinsic feedback from the teacher creates a greater understanding of their body’s relationship with the water.
