Swimming lessons
Our Swimming program is returning in Semester 2, 2025!
Build new skills, meet new friends and stay active this semester.
Whether you're a complete beginner, want to become more confident in the water or are looking to improve your swimming technique – we can help you achieve your goals.
In the adult and teen swimming program, you have the opportunity to:
- learn foundational skills in swimming such as floating, treading water and basic strokes;
- develop and refine previously learnt swimming strokes;
- achieve personal goals for your own swimming needs.
Program requirements
Please bring swimwear, towel and dry clothes to your swimming lessons. Goggles are recommended but not essential.
