Fully Subsidised Swim Programs – Pre-Teen & Teen

Fully Subsidised Swim Programs – Learn Vital Water Safety Skills  

Can your child save themselves in the water? According to Royal Life Saving Australia, 84% of Australian Year 10 students can’t. Does your child meet the swimming benchmarks?  

From Primary to High school, there is a generational decline in swimming skill and it’s endangering young lives. According to the Royal Life Saving Australia’s 2025 Report on Children’s Swimming & Water Safety Skills, many school-aged children are still struggling to meet the essential swimming benchmark, with 48% of Australian Pre-teens (10 – 12 year old) lacking the ability to swim 50m or tread water for 2 minutes. 

Drowning is preventable, make sure your child is safer in and around water. Join our Can Swim Program this August & September. The fully subsidised swim program for pre-teens and teens is the perfect opportunity for young people to build confidence in the water and develop essential life-saving skills.
