Love2Swim School provides Fitness Squad Classes to Townsville Grammar School students from Year 3 to 12 during Terms 1 and 4. Swim@Grammar is supervised by a swim instructor from Love2Swim School, and held on Tuesday and Thursday, mornings and afternoons.

This program is designed to increase the fitness of the swimmers to compete for the school team as well as to build on their current skills. The Swimming drills taught are to increase swimmers speed and are not learn to swim lessons.
