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.

Meet Natalie 👋 

When Natalie wanted to start weight training but wasn’t sure where to begin, she joined Small Group Training to learn the right technique and build confidence. "I wanted to start weight training but also understand the importance of getting technique right to avoid injury, so I thought Small Group Training was a great place to start.” 

Now, she trains twice a week with her group, plus a solo session and has found what keeps her focused and accountable “It’s motivating training with other women who also want to get stronger and being able to celebrate each other’s achievements.” 

Natalie has been celebrating all her wins and the progress she has made - “I'm proud of my improvements for both hip thrusts and dumbbell bench press and that I kept coming all through Winter.” 

You can read about Natalie’s health and fitness journey in our blog - Link in bio

Congratulations Natalie on all your hard work!
