Sign up any time in August, and your child will swim FREE for the entire month of September!*

Learning to swim is a lifelong skill that brings fitness, fun, and safety - all year round. Now’s the perfect time to enrol your child/ren in our Learn to Swim program.

Why enrol them now?

  • Build their skills before summer

    Kids enter the warmer months more confident and ready to enjoy the water safely.

  • Consistent routine

    Starting now avoids long gaps in skill development and keeps kids active year-round.

  • Develops water confidence early

    The earlier kids start, the more natural swimming fees, even if it's not beach season.

  • Open to all skill levels

    From beginners to those wanting to improve their technique and water confidence, any child can join — no matter their starting point.
