What is the Learn to Swim program?
The Learn to Swim program follows the guidelines of the Royal Lifesaving Society of Australia’s Swim and Survive program and is specifically designed for members and their families. All instructors hold an AustSwim qualification as a minimum and are also available for adult private lessons.
When does the Learn to Swim program run?
The program runs continuously from mid-January to mid-December each year and suspension or make-up sessions may be available for family holidays or illness. Children will receive certificates of achievement as they progress through different awards and stages.
How to enrol?
Submit an enquiry or contact Reception to fill out an enrollment form. Your child can then commence right away (a 15-minute assessment may be required).
Please bring a towel, swim wear and goggles. All other gear is supplied. Children who are not yet fully toilet trained will need to wear an appropriate aqua nappy.
When and where are classes held?
Classes run from Monday to Saturday in the indoor heated pool and generally last for 30 minutes.
