Enrolments for the October and summer school holiday VacSwim programs are now open.
Spots are limited and enrolments will close earlier at venues that are fully booked. Enrol now to secure your place.
VacSwim enrolments are limited to one October and one summer program per child. Waitlist options are available for additional programs.
The programs range from 5 to 10 days in length. Your child can learn to swim in a safe and enjoyable environment at venues across WA.
While enrolments are open, we can only provide a lesson time window for each program. We finalise lesson times and send enrolment notifications approximately 2 weeks before the program starts.
Refunds aren’t available if the allocated lesson time is unsuitable.

Program prices don't include venue entry fees for students and spectators. Most pools charge an entry fee. You will find specific pool entry fees when you enrol.
At most pools, children need adult supervision. VacSwim instructors have a shared duty of care for children in the lessons while it runs. You need to be poolside to provide personal care for your child and in case of an emergency.
Lessons are at indoor and outdoor venues, so we encourage all children to be sun-smart.
