Your students will be able to develop their swimming skills, learn about water safety and have fun in the water. We can even tailor our swimming lessons and programs to meet your school's needs.

Find out more about our swimming lessons and programs below.

Swimming lessons with the Y

Students will learn vital swimming skills, develop their swimming strokes and gain knowledge and understanding of different aquatic situations. Students will also take part in water safety education and open water scenarios, learning important survival skills.

Our program is aligned to the National Swimming and Water Safety Framework, which ensures that students work towards national benchmarks. We can deliver the program across your chosen number of sessions (we recommend at least five).

We'll also award the Victorian Water Safety Certificate to any student who achieves the required competencies.

Session options

Sessions are available between 9:00am to 3:00pm, however we can discuss alternative times to meet your school's needs. You can choose from intensive, weekly or singular session formats.

Programs

Water safety incursions

We can come to you and provide classroom presentations and activities relating to swimming, water safety and personal survival. Our interactive and engaging activities are suitable for students of all ages and can be a great addition to your in-pool programs with us.

School carnivals and events

Our outdoor 50 metre pool is ideal for school carnivals. Carnivals can include a range of events, either just for fun or for competitions. The venue includes equipment (such as a P.A. system, tables and chairs), diving boards, large shaded areas and lifeguards.

Water safety day

Learn personal survival and water safety skills. Activities can include aquatic rescues suited to age and ability, beach and waterways education, clothed swim and lifejacket experience.
