Essential Skills Swim School
We`re a locally owned and operated BOUTIQUE swim school located in the southern growth corridor of Cairns in the central suburb of Bentley Park (next to Fretwell Park). We provide a modern, safe, clean, purpose built aquatic education centre open for lessons 12 months of the year, catering to “All ages, all stages”
About Our Program
Essential Skills offer small class sizes, grouped according to age and ability. We facilitate a systematic program delivered by specialist teachers, based on child development principles. Age appropriate activities and skills will produce children who are safe in and around water and who swim with good technique.
