Star Aquatics Mentone

At Star Aquatics, we provide a nurturing environment for children to learn swimming skills safely and confidently.

Our Mission

To build water safety, strength, and confidence with every stroke.

Welcome to

Star Aquatics Mentone

Our curriculum is built on science-based swimming principles and a structured teaching approach designed to ensure consistency and develop high-quality, lifelong aquatic skills.

What is science based learning at Star Aquatics?

Swimming is one of the most fascinating forms of physical activity, engaging nearly every muscle in the body while moving through an environment very different from land. Unlike walking or running, where we rely on friction against the ground; swimming requires us to push against water a substance that is 800 times denser than air. Teaching our children to adapt to this environment is a perfect combination of physics, biomechanics and human physiology. Biomechanics, kinesthetics, psychomotor, and sensory skills all play a crucial role in both swimming performance and teaching swimming effectively. Sensory learning plays a key role in children’s swimming education, particularly in the early childhood stages.

How does Star Aquatics utilise these complex scientific principles to help make children safer-faster?

Sensory learning Skills provide ability to process sensory input (touch, sight, hearing, etc.). Swimmers rely on tactile feedback from water to adjust technique. They use visual cues help with lane orientation and pacing and auditory cues from instructions and start signals. Star Aquatics trained teachers will use visual demonstrations, tactile corrections, and verbal cues in a variety of ways in every single lesson we teach. Sensory integration is critical for swimmers with special needs or learning differences.

Your child will always have sensory engagement and learning in every Star Aquatics lesson they attend.

Biomechanics is the study of movement and the mechanical principles of the human body. It helps swimmers optimize stroke technique for efficiency and speed, reduces drag and improves propulsion through proper body alignment and helps prevents injuries by promoting safe movement patterns. Star Aquatic trained teachers can analyze and correct technique based on mechanical principles and are enabled to tailor instruction for different body types and abilities.

Your child will be learning safe, correct and efficient technique.

Kinaesthetic Awareness is the sense of body position and movement. It allows swimmers to develop a “feel for the water,” improving stroke timing and coordination as well as enhancing balance and body control in the water. Star Aquatics trained teachers will use drills that improve body awareness (e.g., sculling, turnarounds and streamlining) that help learners understand how their body moves through water.

Your child will be learning correct body position in every lesson at Star Aquatic.

Psychomotor Skills provide the ability to coordinate cognitive functions with physical movement. They are essential for learning and refining stroke techniques and support multitasking (e.g. breathing while stroking). Star Aquatics trained teachers will break down complex movements into manageable steps and teach progressive skill-building activities.
