Learn to Swim

Our program promotes fun and enjoyment of the water for swimmers of all ages and abilities, with classes available at Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre, Ashfield Aquatic Centre, and Leichhardt Park Aquatic Centre.

Teaching your child or yourself to swim is one of the most important decisions you will make in life.

We provide our instructors and coaches with in-depth training to ensure we deliver the highest quality aquatic education to the Inner West community. We work with our instructors, coaches and the community to review, develop and distribute aquatic resources and programs.

Our classes run year-round and are led by AUSTSWIM or Swim Australia qualified instructors who are CPR certified and hold mandatory Working With Children Checks. We pride ourselves on delivering lessons that are professional, safe, and enjoyable.

New customers can enrol through our enrol page and find more information about levels and programs through the links below.
