Founded by Bevan Gouldie, Sharks Swimming Academy was created with a passion for helping swimmers of
all ages build confidence and master their skills in the water.
With years of experience as a competitive swimmer, Bevan’s lifelong love for the sport inspired him to start this
academy, where swimmers can improve and excel.
At Sharks Swimming Academy, we offer specialized swimming programs for adults, high school students, and
our popular “Baby Sharks” program for children as young as 6 months.
Our expert coaches are dedicated to stroke correction and breathing techniques, ensuring every swimmer
makes visible progress.
Passionate about swimming, our coaches are trained to provide supportive, results-driven instruction.
Whether in one of our convenient pool locations or in the comfort of your own pool, we are committed to
making every swim lesson an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
We can’t wait to help you or your child thrive in the water!
Welcome to Sharks Swimming Academy!
- Our program for teenagers and adults who are new to swimming focuses on
developing essential swimming skills, along with water safety in both pool and
open water environments. Once participants are comfortable swimming the
length of the pool, we introduce the four primary strokes. The program is tailored
to meet individual goals, whether for recreational swimming or more structured
swim training.
- The Toddler and Beginner program is designed to familiarize young swimmers
with water while developing fundamental swimming skills. Emphasizing water
awareness and safety, this program builds a strong foundation for swimming
proficiency. Our structured, repetitive approach has proven highly effective in
skill development. Once swimmers are capable of swimming across the pool,
they are introduced to various stroke techniques.
Toddlers & Beginners
- Our program focuses on a gentle, engaging approach rather than drown-
proofing. Using songs and playful activities, we help babies feel comfortable in
the water while introducing basic swimming techniques, including floating and
going underwater. A parent or guardian can join the baby in the water for every
class, making it a wonderful bonding experience for both.
Babies (6-21 Months)
WHAT WE OFFER
Adults
- This program is dedicated to refining swimming techniques and other essential
skills. It serves as a preparatory stage rather than a coaching session, focusing on
teaching the four main strokes to enable swimmers to progress to more
advanced coaching and competitive participation in galas. By mastering all four
strokes, swimmers can discover and develop their natural strengths and
preferred techniques.
