Swim safely with lessons for any age

From long days at the beach to barbecues around the pool, spending time by the water is a quintessentially Australian pastime.

That’s why it’s so important for people of all ages to practise water safety.

Our Life Saving Victoria Platinum Pool-accredited aquatic and leisure facilities have swimming programs that are about more than just mastering different swimming strokes. Regular lessons can establish vital survival skills and a lifelong appreciation for safe activity in the water.

Swimming lessons are run by the YMCA for 48 weeks of the year. You’ll find lessons for all ages and abilities, including school-holiday intensive programs, and programs for infants, pre-school children, adults and more.

Keep up the practice in between your lessons with an ongoing swimming lessons membership. As well as a weekly lesson, you get year-round access to the pools across our 3 Boroondara facilities.
