Natalie completed the Bass Strait crossing leaving from Stanley Beach in Tasmania at 6.30am in darkness and landed by the cliffs of Venus Bay at 4pm in the afternoon. It took 9 hours and thirty five minutes to complete the 240km.

The trip resulted in several world records which will be listed in the blog when they are all verified. It was a hard, long trip fraught with danger... but well worth the all the preparation and effort.
Please refer to the Blog for a more detailed account of the journey.

Private classes are run by Austswim qualified teachers. They are half an hour in duration and are guided by the swimmers specific needs and the level criteria in the Swim 4 All program.  Each lesson is followed by a half hour practice/play session supervised by the swimmers parent or carer.
At Swim 4 All we believe free time for swimmers to practise the elements of their lesson that they enjoyed is a crucial part of their learning as well as an opportunity to socialise.

It is recommended that all Special needs clients do a term of private lessons.  Parents have commented on how much improvement is evident in the private lessons within only a few weeks. Swimmers are assessed on an ongoing basis and can have the option to join a group lesson.

Swimmers without special needs are also catered for in private or group classes.

Before beginning classes families are invited to visit the centre so children can acquaint themselves with the new environment and parents can pass on all the necessary information a swimming teacher would need to be able to best teach their swimmer.  Parents have an opportunity to speak to the teacher to discuss any issues and alleviate any concerns they may have.
