📍 WELCOME TO OUR CROYDON BRANCH 📍

You’ve seen us talk a lot about water safety this week — but this is one of the places where those skills are being built every day. 💙

Welcome to our Croydon branch, situated at:

📍 26 Major Miller Avenue, Croydon, Kempton Park

Our indoor pool provides a comfortable environment where children can learn at their own pace while developing the skills, confidence and independence they need in the water.

But our lessons aren’t only about learning strokes.

They’re about helping a nervous little swimmer become comfortable putting their face in the water.

They’re about learning to float, kick, breathe and move independently.

They’re about developing safer habits around the pool.

And they’re about watching that moment when “I can’t” slowly becomes “Look at me!” 🥹💙

That’s the progress we love seeing.

Whether your little one is taking their very first steps into swimming lessons or is ready to develop their existing skills, our Croydon branch offers a supportive space to learn, play and grow in confidence.

⭐ Little strokes. Big futures.

🛟 WATER SAFETY WEEK | SIMPLE HABITS THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE 🛟

Teaching a child to swim is incredibly important — but water safety doesn’t stop when the lesson ends.

A child who swims confidently during a lesson can still get into difficulty in an unfamiliar pool, the sea, a dam or another body of water.

Here are a few reminders we want every AquaStars family to keep in mind:

👀 ALWAYS SUPERVISE
Young children should be actively supervised whenever they’re in or around water. Stay close, stay alert and avoid distractions.

🛟 USE APPROVED SAFETY GEAR
Life jackets and approved flotation devices can provide additional protection in the right situations — but they never replace adult supervision.

☀️ BE SUN SMART
Water safety also means looking after our little swimmers while they’re out of the water. Use sunscreen, reapply regularly, keep them hydrated and take breaks in the shade.

🚪 CONTROL ACCESS TO WATER
If you have a swimming pool at home, make sure children cannot access it without an adult. Pool fences, gates and covers should be properly maintained and used consistently.

And perhaps the most important reminder:

Never assume that because a child can swim, they are safe to be left alone around water.

Swimming ability is a skill.
Water safety is a lifelong habit. 💙

💦 THEME OF THE WEEK: WATER SAFETY 💦

This week at AquaStars, we’re putting the spotlight on something that matters far beyond the swimming lesson — water safety. 🛟

Learning to swim is an incredibly important life skill, but water safety is about so much more than simply being able to swim from one side of the pool to the other.

It’s knowing what to do when you’re tired.
It’s understanding the rules around a pool.
It’s learning how to respond if you unexpectedly enter the water.
It’s knowing when to ask for help.
And, most importantly, it’s learning to respect the water without being afraid of it.

That’s why water confidence and safety are built into the skills we teach our swimmers week after week.

Throughout this week, we’ll also be sharing some practical water safety reminders for parents and caregivers — because keeping children safe around water is something we all play a part in. 💙

Whether you’re at home around the pool, visiting friends, heading to the beach or spending time near any body of water, the same principle applies:

Supervision + swimming skills + safe habits all work together.

💙 Safe environment. Skill progression. Confidence for life.

⭐ Little strokes. Big futures.

✨ Meet the face (and the brains!) behind AquaStars Swim School... ✨

Hi, I’m Kelly! 👋

I’m the owner, head coach and the person you’ll probably chat to when you enquire about lessons, book a class, reschedule a session or have a question about your child’s swimming journey.

In other words... I’m usually the one behind the scenes making everything happen! 💙

I’ve been teaching children to swim for many years and have had the privilege of helping hundreds of swimmers take their very first splash, overcome fears and grow into confident, capable swimmers.

I hold an ASCA Level 1 Coaching qualification and I’m passionate about creating lessons that are safe, fun and focused on each swimmer’s individual progress.

For me, swimming has never just been about learning strokes.

It’s about:
💙 Building confidence
💙 Teaching life-saving skills
💙 Creating smiles
💙 Helping every child fall in love with the water

When I’m not in the pool, you’ll usually find me:
📅 Planning lessons
📱 Answering messages
📝 Organising class schedules
🎨 Creating social media content
📍 Running AquaStars behind the scenes

Thank you to every family that has trusted me with your little swimmers. Watching them grow is the best part of what I do. ❤️

I’d love to know...

❄️ Why We Swim All Year Round ❄️

Winter is often when the biggest progress happens.

Without the excitement of summer holidays and busy weekends, children have the opportunity to settle into a routine, focus on their technique and build confidence one lesson at a time.

We’ve seen it year after year, swimmers who continue through winter are often the ones who head into summer feeling stronger, more capable and ready to enjoy the water.

Our indoor heated pools mean lessons stay comfortable, while our small class environment allows every swimmer to keep improving at their own pace.

Because swimming isn’t just about learning strokes...

It’s about developing a skill that can last a lifetime.

💙 We’d love to know—does your family swim all year round, or are you thinking about starting this winter?

❄️ Swimming Through Winter ❄️

As the temperatures drop, it’s tempting to put swimming lessons on hold until summer.

But here’s something many parents don’t realise...

Children don’t just lose fitness during a long break, they can also lose confidence in the water.

At AquaStars, we believe confidence grows through consistency. That’s why our indoor heated pools stay busy throughout winter, helping swimmers continue building skills week after week in a warm, supportive environment.

This week we’re chatting about why winter swimming is one of the best investments you can make in your child’s progress.

Stay tuned as we share tips, bust a few winter swimming myths, and show you why learning doesn’t have to stop when the weather gets colder. ❄️💙
