Cockburn ARC hosts the Education Department's VacSwim program during the school holidays.
Enrolment into the program is directly through the Education Department.
Spectator and student entry passes are required to be paid for entry to the pool. They can be purchased in advance to avoid queues and to ensure you arrive on time for your designated lesson. Alternatively, you can purchase an individual spectator entry pass during each visit, but this will require joining the regular queue.
If you are currently a Swim ARCademy member, you do not need to pay casual entry.
- VacSwim casual entry - $5.30 per entry
- Spectator casual entry - $2.90 per entry
