We’re bringing VacSwim to you this April and July!
To help us determine the best option for your child to learn how to swim, we are trialling additional VacSwim programs during the April and July holidays. This will help us understand how to make it easier for local families to get involved while enjoying the milder weather.
The programs will run in Derby in the Kimberley and Wickham in the Pilbara.
Enrolments for our April trial programs are now closed. Enrolments for the July trial programs are open and close 14 June 2026.

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 outdoor venues, so we encourage all children to be sun-smart.
