For kids aged between 4 - 16 years, our swim clinics are a four day program designed to support your child developing key swim skills. The next program will be running during the April school holidays, from Monday 14 - Thursday 17 April.

It costs  $78 to take part in each four day clinic, which covers pool entry, the instructor for each one hour session, and two spectators.

Each clinic is led by a qualified & experienced Swim ARCademy instructor, based in a group setting. Clinics are available for both Swim ARCademy members and non-members.

If your child is over 12 years old, you can leave the facility during the program. If they're 11 years old or younger, you'll need to stay during the clinic as per our Watch Around Water policy.
