Read some of the testimonials and see for yourself the results achieved by Kids Aquatic Survival School
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!

My son has been going to KASS now for 5 weeks – it has been amazing to watch his confidence and skills grow in such a short time compared to the frustrations of months of weekly lessons resulting in very little progress. I highly recommend the KASS process and the team at Lilli Pilli – I will be putting my second son through very soon! It’s a commitment to turn up each day but a very small price to pay for increasing your child’s chance of survival.

This program has been absolutely amazing for my 3 kids. They now love the water (having been not so keen at first), and would choose swimming as their number 1 activity. Thank you for making my kids water safe!

Teaching kids water survival skills is a must – it is the best thing we have done.

With an over confident 2 year old son who didn’t enjoy the mum & bubs style swimming lessons the one on one KASS lessons were perfect for us. After a few weeks my son loved going & would get so excited about his daily swimming lesson. I was totally amazed at how quickly my son was able to float, roll and get himself to the edge (totally clothed too). I have just now put my third child through the KASS program & would highly recommend it to any parent. Its a nice feeling knowing your kids have the skills to survive if they fall in a pool.

Kids Aquatic Survival School has opened my eyes to why our kids need swimming lessons! For Survival not just familiarisation! I had my nearly 4yo and 2yo in Austswim accredited classes from 6 months of age. My nearly 4yo daughter was regressing in lessons and wasn’t letting go of me or the instructor and she ONLY wanted to use a floatation device. After watching my daughter in a supervised group lesson with my youngest in my arms, I witnessed the instructor take the 3rd child out for their turn whilst turning their back on the other 2 kids on the submerged step. My daughter fell off, struggled to surface and was vertical and slowly sinking before my eyes. She was rescued by someone else that day but I immediately enrolled her into KASS. Within 4 weeks/20 lessons of the KASS course my little girl was floating unassisted, rolling over and swimming to the edge. When she finished the survival program she progress onto weekly transitional lessons and was diving down, doing breaststroke and freestyle. My 2yo boy took the full 8 week but was floating calmly, rolling and swimming to the edge by the end. He used these skills nearly 12 months post completing the program when we were holidaying on a remote island in Fiji. The kids were in supervised kids club and he must have escaped and was running around the pool at night and fell in. I was having dinner 10 meters away and saw a young girl run to the table near us and her father back with her towards the pool. I knew something wasn’t right and I ran over to find my nearly 3yo boy calmly floating on his back in the pool fully clothed. To this day I get goose bumps when i talk about it and I am certain this program saved his life that night. That is why its so important children do this program. It’s an indescribable feeling watching your child excel in something out of their comfort zone but within their capabilities and KASS was able to and continue to do that for my children. Thank you
