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 take place between 9:15am and 3.00pm and run for 45 minutes. We also offer an intensive program option that runs across two weeks, or we can arrange another format with you.
