With drowning rates increasing in recent year, families are encouraged to sign up their children for Aquatics Recreation Victoria’s (ARV) VICSWIM Summer Kidz program, with lessons still available in Healesville.
VICSWIM is a three-week swimming program that runs statewide during the first three weeks of January, with a simple goal: to teach children water safety and swimming skills in an affordable and accessible way in pools, at beaches, rivers and lakes, and it’s not too late to get involved in the fun.
“VICSWIM Summer Kidz Program is available to all Victorian children aged 4 to 12 years. Our amazing swim teachers are ready to welcome you and your children to a location near you” said ARV CEO Kathy Parton
“We want to ensure children across Victoria have the opportunity to across this program.”
The 2024 VICSWIM program kicked off on January 2, with more than 1200 classes hitting the water. By the end of the program, VICSWIM teachers will have delivered programs to more than 16,000 kids at 171 venues in the farthest reaches of the state.
The VICSWIM program allows parents to book their kids in to one, two or three weeks of lessons, for just $35 per week (additional venue fees may apply). Kids aged 4-12 can attend and parents can book a program based on their current swimming skill level. Families are encouraged to enrol in VICSWIM’s final week of lessons, commencing on Monday 15 January.
