Jan Grutzner Swim School

About Us

 

I have been teaching children to swim since 1976, caring for three year old beginners right through to pre-squad level, and I specialise in nervous beginners of all ages – I have vast experience in teaching special needs children with wide ranging conditions such as cerebral palsy, down syndrome and autism.

 

I focus on the ability of all students,
not the disability!

​

As well as being Austswim and Aquatics for the Disabled qualified, I am also a Bronze Level coach, and love preparing children for squad.

​

Lessons are located at the beautiful pool at Epworth Hospital in Richmond, (on-site parking available). With only one class at a time, the atmosphere is quiet and children are less distracted than at bigger, noisy centres.

​

My classes are different! Children learn in deep water from the very first class and the emphasis is on swimming, not just water familiarisation, and I teach every class. Lessons should be fun and productive! 

​

Come and watch a class in progress and talk to other parents – we love visitors!

Now also offering adult beginner lessons.
