Learning to become a confident swimmer is a vital life skill in our Australian climate. At VenuesWest we believe that swimming should be taught in a fun, safe and positive environment which promotes skill development.
Arena Joondalup’s in term swimming lessons accommodate beginner swimmers through to squad swimmers aged from 2 to 17 years.
Swimmers participate in group swimming lessons and are placed in classes according to their swimming ability. Using the RLSSA Swim and Survive Continuum, instructors focus on the development of swimming technique, water safety, water confidence and survival skills.
Classes are held six days per week. Contact the Swim School on 9300 7118 prior to commencing to determine your child’s level.
Parent/Baby Classes (6 months to 3 years)
Classes are designed to establish your baby's confidence and enjoyment of the water while bonding with you. Lesson guidelines are available on registration or can be collected on the first lesson.
Pre-School Classes (3 to 5 years)
Children will explore the water in a safe, supervised and heated environment. Classes are conducted without parent participation to allow children to establish their independence in the water and interaction with other children.
School Age Classes (5 to 15 years)
Structured on a series of levels, classes focus on stroke technique, developing strength and water confidence in a fun learning environment. These classes are based on the Royal Life Saving Society's Swim and Survive Levels 1 to 9.
