Holiday swimming lessons are a fantastic way for your child to boost their swimming skills.
A swimming lessons holiday program allows your child to improve on the skills they've gained from their weekly swimming lessons. It's also a wonderful way to get back into swimming lessons if you've had some time away.
Lessons will cover all elements of stroke progression, water safety and personal survival, as well as encouraging improvement and confidence – all while making sure your child has lots of fun!
The intensive swimming lessons program will run over the school holidays. Students will be placed into age and skill appropriate classes for the program. The focus is on progression with lots of encouragement along the way. Swimming holiday programs are open to all (not limited to students already enrolled in swimming lessons).
