Fully subsidised swim programs available to the community

November 30, 2023

Join a fully subsidised swim program to help us find innovative ways to teach swimming and water safety

Over January and February 2024, Peninsula Leisure are running 3 pilot swim programs to test non-traditional Learn to Swim models. Through these programs we hope to learn more about swimming and water safety skills and knowledge, helping us towards our goal of ‘Every Child in Frankston Can Swim’.

What does that mean for you?

We are running 3 pilot swim programs to test different learn to swim models. Each of these pilot programs is targeted at different audiences: infants, families, youth. The programs are completely free for participants, and also come with access to PARC and PINES for the 2 weeks around the program time. All we ask is that participants complete a survey before their program, then again at the end, so we can see how this method of learning impacts water safety and awareness.

About the Programs:

Youth 5 Day Program at PARC: Starting 8 January, 45 minute lesson per day.
Family swimming and water safety session at PINES: Friday 19 January, 4.30pm-5.30pm
Infant water familiarisation program at PARC over 19, 21and 23 February, at either 8.30am, 11.30am, 4.00pm or 4.30pm. 30 minute lesson per day.
