School holiday lessons

-
Build your child’s confidence in the water during the school holidays with the Swimsmart school holiday programme.
Holiday lessons are a great opportunity for school-aged children to rapidly improve their swimming skills and burn some serious energy.
Children new to the Swimsmart programme can start their swimming journey with us - no prior experience is needed. For children who already attend our lessons, we will further build on what they are already learning to super-charge their progress.
-
Your child will be taught seven key skills throughout the programme:
- Water safety and awareness
- Entering and exiting the water
- Submersion (going under the water)
- Personal buoyancy (floating on the water)
- Orientation (rolling and turning in the water)
- What to do in an emergency (safety of self and others)
- Propulsion (moving through water)
-
Lessons run during school holidays.
School holiday lessons can be booked online 3 weeks prior to the beginning of the school holidays. A timetable of school holiday lessons will be available on this page when bookings open.
If you would like to register your interest in Swimsmart school holiday lessons, please subscribe so we can contact you when bookings open.
