Today is your last chance 🫶🏼

Swimming should be a life skill, not just a school holiday activity.

YMCA Swimming Lessons at The Parks are delivered by nationally accredited instructors as part of our status as an Austswim Recognised Swim Centre.

Babies and toddler programs
FREE Aqua Babies program (3 to 5 months) introduces little ones to the idea of being in the water before progressing into Babies and Toddlers (6 months to 3 years), with a parent in the water for both. Across three levels, children progress from early water familiarisation through to aquatic independence.

Pre-school and school aged programs
From three years old, Pre-school and School Age classes build towards independent floating, breath control and introductory strokes. School age children then follow a seven-level pathway developing all four competitive strokes, diving, survival skills and endurance swimming, with rescue and emergency response built into every stage.

Why families choose The Parks
No cancellation penalties, book your own make-up lessons online, track progression as you go, and enjoy unlimited pool access outside lesson times. Families can also save up to $200 with a School Sports Voucher.

📝 ASSESSMENT WEEKS! 🐙 🐟

Please note: If your child is going to be absent from their lesson this week, please remember to mark them as absent and book a make-up lesson. This will ensure your child still has the opportunity to be assessed during their allocated assessment week.
