Who can swim with us at Hydra Swim Academy?

We welcome swimmers of all ages and ability levels, from those starting out to those that are competitive and elite-level athletes. Our sessions are designed to support long-term development whatever your goal.

How do I know which session is right for my child or myself?

We offer a telephone consultations to help place swimmers in the most appropriate session based on age, experience, skill level, and goals. Our coaches are happy to guide you through the options.

What is Endless Pool training, and how is it different from a traditional pool?

An Endless Pool uses a controlled current, allowing swimmers to swim continuously in one place. This setup enables:

• Constant, real-time coaching feedback
• Focused technique correction
• Adjustable intensity for all skill levels
• Increased active swim time with minimal downtime

It is especially effective for both learning proper technique and refining competitive skills.

What are your opening times?

We run an appointment only service but we can accommodate early morning and evening sessions to suit you! Give us a call and let us know when you want to swim.

What do I need to bring with me for my session?

Basics; swimsuit, goggles, swim hat (or buy one of our awesome hats), towel, flip flops.

Optional; swim aids like fins, paddles, snorkels and a pull buoy can be a useful addition to your kit collection. Bring them along if you have them!
