There are lots of activities for children to try as they grow, but swimming is different.

Swimming is an essential life skill that builds confidence and protects children year-round, not just in the summer. 🛟

That’s why consistency in learning to swim matters. The skills which are built upon in winter will prepare your child for a safer summer.

We proudly provide swimming lessons year-round with the inclusion of school holidays! Kids who swim in winter are safer in summer. 🌞

Bookings are now open via our website for our School Holiday Intensive Swimming Program! Monday June 29th - Friday July 3rd.

Some things are optional. Swimming lessons aren’t.

Nearly half of school aged children in Australia don’t meet basic water safety benchmarks*.
That’s why families at the Y choose to keep swimming during winter💙

Our school holiday program provides opportunity to children to build their confidence, strengthen their swimming ability, and develop the skills they need to stay safe around water. It is a great pathway into swimming lessons, or a fun school holiday addition to our weekly learn to swim lessons!

Book now to secure your child's place in our School Holiday Intensive Swimming Program these school holidays!
