For the last three years, seven-year-old Danielle Wills has taken swimming lessons at the NCIE pool. Called the Little Fish by her coach, Danielle has not always felt at home in the water. It took almost three months of encouragement from her Learn to Swim coach to put her head under the water. These days, her father Robert Wills admits it’s hard to get her out of the pool at the end of a lesson.
Danielle is one of many children who have taken the plunge to learn to swim at the NCIE.
The Learn to Swim program introduces children to the joys of swimming by providing one on one coaching from as young as 18 months. Instructors understand that not everyone is at the same skill level and encourage confidence through progress and fun.
As well as the 25-metre heated pool, facilities at the Fitness Centre include two fully equipped gyms, indoor sports stadium, outdoor oval and a rehearsal/dance studio.
