Enrolment
To enrol you need to fill out an enrolment form, located at reception. Then your child has to be assessed to ensure they are placed in the correct level. Assessment takes a couple of minutes: a Swim School staff member will ask your child/children to perform a number of skills, depending on their age and ability. For example some skills are: blowing bubbles, arm circles or breaststroke skills. After assessment we have a look at what is available and what is convenient to you.
Please note that full payment is required upfront to complete enrolment.
If you are unable to come in during the Swim School hours you will need to ring the Swim School and arrange a time suitable.

Why learn to swim at Dickson Aquatic Centre?
Here at the Dickson Aquatic Centre there is a great
atmosphere for learning. Water is great fun, but swimming lessons ensure that your child develops the skills they need to fully enjoy the water with safety.
All our teachers are Austswim Qualified. This means that they are trained in the appropriate teaching techniques for water and swimming skills. They are also caring and motivated people.
The Royal Life's "Swim and Survive" program is incorporated into our program. This allows for children to develop water
survival skills as well as swimming technique.
Small class ratios ensure maximum results.
All the pools are heated. The Learners' Pool provides many advantages, it is shallow at the ends for toddlers, but deep enough in the middle to accommodate for children learning arm circles.
There are also partial shade covers on the pools.
Two types of programs are on offer. The Term programs enables children to develop their skills over a longer period of time. The January programs are highly intensive day-after-day lessons, when children can rapidly build on knowledge.
Lessons start from children as young as 3 years old.

Private Lessons
Another option is private lessons. Private lessons are 30 minutes in length and one-on-one with the instructor. There are many advantages of having private lessons, including the fact that the instructor can work exclusively with the student and they can work on specific areas of improvement. Both adults and children can benefit from private lessons.
You can book private lessons as an individual or as a group. We can organise a lesson for two or three people if all are at relatively the same swimming ability. Prices vary between individual and group lessons, prices are as follows;
1:1 = $35, 1:2 = $60, 1:3 = $75
The number of lessons depends on the individual. You can book for a one-off lesson, or regular lessons.
Private lesson enrolment is closed.
Adult Beginner Classes
Last season we experimented with adult beginner classes. These classes booked out fast and were a great success. Adult classes will be held again this season. They are designed for adults who have never put their head under water, to those who are just beginning to develop arm circles and body position. Our teachers provide quality, sensitive and responsive teaching. We have a maximum of four people to a class which are scheduled separately from the children's programs.
