Babies retain their natural breath-holding reflex (the dive reflex) up to the age of six months and this is the age we suggest to start. AUSTSWIM recommends that your child be fully immunised before starting any program.

A You are the best judge of your child of course but generally I wouldn't recommend formal lessons until about the age of six.

Teeth should be brushed as soon as they appear, usually from about six months old. The GUM Parent Brush has a longer handle to fit parents' hands and rubber edges on the brush head that are soft and gentle for baby's gums. This allows parents to slowly introduce brushing and whilst showing the child how to use a toothbrush.

Flossing is important once the teeth begin to touch, usually around age two. Initially parents will need to floss their child's teeth but from about five the child may be dextrous enough to use a GUM® Kids Flossbrush, which is easy to use with a self-dispensing handle. By around eight to ten a child could be able to manage floss themselves.

We will accept the children for lessons at age four, when they start full time mainstream school. We offer Aquatot classes for children of pre-school age, but a parent or guardian must also accompany the child in the water.

We place great importance on this life skill; children from Year 3 onwards have around 13 weeks of lessons each year. Again, safety is our first priority; lessons are taught by a qualified, local authority coach. In addition, we staff the lessons to maintain a high ratio of adult: pupil. Children make terrific progress and develop their skills and confidence through the very enjoyable lessons.

Yes, during some weeks of Pre-Teen camp only. All sessions have free swim times. If there is enough interest, Red Cross Lifeguard certification is offered during Summer Roundup. Please check the

Yes. Our lesson programme is Quality Assured by the Amateur Swimming Association and has an extensive waiting list. We recommend that children are placed on the list at a very early age to ensure that they receive lessons from age four. For people who are significantly low on the list, consideration should be made to attend a holiday course, which are sold on a first come first served basis.

You can learn at any age, however the younger you are when you start, the better. There are many people who began learning Japanese for the first time at college and became fluent in Japanese later. Actually some of my students have more knowledge and much better language skill than average native Japanese. The only problem they have is pronunciation. They speak, write and read fluently but can't pronounce certain words correctly like a native Japanese.

Strictly speaking you can commence pilot training at any age, as long as you can reach all the controls! We suggest that the earliest you should start lessons is 14 years of age. long as you continue to pass your Class 2 medical exam, and remain healthy between examinations, there is no age restriction on a Private Pilot Licence. If you are not medically fit, or are uncomfortable about flying solo, you may wish to experience flight with our Fun Fly option.

It depends on the instrument, their physical size and attention span. Their attention span must long enough to concentrate during the lesson and practice for 10 minutes or more at a time. The ages given here are simply a guideline: Piano -- Children can begin as early as age 5. Your child should be able to recognize numbers one through five and understand the correlation between the numbers on the page and the finger numbers.

Yes, though we think that most people will want to get an acoustic piano within a year after starting lessons, if not sooner. Even the best digital keyboards, which can run several thousand dollars in price, can't duplicate the sound and "feel" of an acoustic piano, so they really can't "replace" a piano. However, for the neophyte student, there are some "all in one" packages which provide a 3-4 octave keyboard along with learning software for under $200.

Many children begin swimming as infants and there is no doubt the water provides a very special experience for the young child. SwimAmerica programs typically begin offering lessons at 6-9 months of age.

Children must be at least 4 years old by September 1, 2007. You must provide proof of age for all children ages 7 and under in order to register even if they have had lessons with us previously. Lessons are provided for children ages 4 and older, as well as adults.

AUSTSWIM recommends that an infant can join an aquatic activity program in a commercial facility from 6 months of age. It's recommended infants should also be introduced to the aquatic environment via home water play. This is a great way to introduce your infant to the water before commencing formal lessons.

No, we welcome children and adults of any age or skill level. If your child is willing to try, we can teach them.

I have given riding instruction to people from 4 to 62. To truly teach riding skills and style, a good age to begin is around 7 years old. Younger students can benefit from lessons by becoming comfortable around horses - both on the ground and on the horse. Its never too late to learn to ride and enjoy all that horses have to offer.

Children can join the primary group from the age of 4, and children can stay until the age of 13 years. We talk in age rather than grade at Kinma because interest and ability rather than the familiar age/grade format, group our students.

Children can start at Harrow Martial Arts at age 5. However, all children start on approval. This means that we monitor then and see if they can cope as not all children can manage the hour and a half lessons we offer for children, when so young. Its not an indicator of the child's ability, just a fact of life and as we want your child to get the best out of their training, then if this is the case, we may ask you to bring them back in six months instead.
