JUMP! Albany is a boutique learn-to-swim facility on Titoki Place in Albany, on the North Shore. It takes babies from three months old through to stroke development, and it describes itself as a personal facility with more privacy than the larger council pools. The centre has a heated, purpose-built indoor pool, kept at 33 degrees for comfort at every age, and the pools are serviced every day. Classes are small, so teachers can meet each child's needs, and the parent and child programme for children from three months to three years lets a parent get into the water with their child. Levels are based on age and ability. The stroke levels cover correction and development of the four strokes before a child moves on to squad.
The centre says its teachers are qualified and experienced with babies, and it discusses each child's progress at every lesson. The facility opened in late 2017 in the industrial complex just off the Northern Motorway. Families can book a general enquiry or take a tour. For a baby, the swim school is a short drive from the Albany centre and the motorway, and it has been running long enough to have grown into a 50-site network, which its website says it celebrated.
