VICSWIM now offers new programs to meet an increasing community demand for swimming and safety skills and knowledge.

This long standing, proven program is offered for one, two or three weeks during the January school holidays, throughout Victoria. With small class sizes for enhanced learning, intensive five-day programs cater for participants of all ages and abilities and are supported by the Victorian Government's 'Play it Safe by the Water' campaign. Conducted by qualified, instructors and caters for a range of abilities.

The ‘Skoolz’ program is tailored to meet the needs of kindergarten, primary school or secondary college environments, in providing swim safety / lessons, achieving the requirements of physical education curriculum or sports classes. Whether you have your own facility or not, VICSWIM can provide you with a flexible approach to achieving the student outcomes required over an agreed timeline. Programs can be structured to address the Education Department's VELS and assessment criteria.

Australia’s culturally diverse groups are often best suited to a tailored program to enable them to survive and understand the safety issues within our community, many of whom live within costal environments. Courses are designed in consultation with various ethnic communities to provide essential skills and information within an enjoyable / fun environment.
