Learn to swim
Maitland Aquatics partners with the Royal Life Saving ‘Swim & Survive’ program in weekly Swimming and Water Safety lessons from Maitland Aquatic Centres.
This program provides children from 6 months to 14 years with essential Swimming and Water Safety skills and understanding while having fun in a safe professional and supportive environment. All swim teachers are Austswim accredited, with classes designed for beginners through to stroke development swimming levels. The Swimming and Water Safety Program is conducted during school terms, as well as an intensive program during the school holiday breaks. Private lessons, access and inclusion and adult lessons are also available.
All infants and preschool lessons are run on Monday through to Saturday mornings in 30 minute increments, whilst most school age lessons run from Monday to Friday in the afternoons and Saturday mornings.
