Lauriston Swim School

The Lauriston Swim School welcomes students of all ages, genders, and abilities, from all schools in the wider community. Our Learn to Swim instructors are responsible for delivering structured water classes for children from 4 years old, focusing on water safety and stroke development.

The Lauriston Aquatics program incorporates learning to swim the competitive strokes, and also water safety and survival skills. Our program caters for all needs, from the basic ability to be safer in the water, right through to competing at a high level. Classes at Lauriston Aquatics will have an AUSTSWIM or ASCTA qualified staff member in charge of the class.

The Lauriston Pool is an indoor 6 lane, 25 metre pool which includes both shallow and deep ends. The program offers a range of different swim levels, with group and private lessons are available upon request. New swimmers will require an assessment to determine their level.

More information on term dates, class times and ability levels can be found in the Swim School Handbook. Enrol by contacting the Swim School via the contact details below.
