Our quality program has been developed to ensure the best learning outcomes for your children. There are nine levels, divided by age as well as ability to ensure your child will always be in a class with children of the same age and ability. Levels are mapped to the mandated Victorian Curriculum, in use in all public and Catholic schools. The last level, Advanced, is a very challenging class and will ensure your child is a capable, confident and strong swimmer.
We have partnered with Deakin University for what will be a world first study on the best program method that aids swimming skill retention – looking at weekly lessons, school swimming programs, a combination of both and children who do not participate in lessons. The results will be published in early 2019.
Lessons are available seven days a week and children can start from just 6 months of age. We also cater for adults where there is no age limit.
If you would like more information, please feel free to contact us.

PARC Swim Membership
Cost: $37.80 per fortnight
- Welcome pack: PARC Swim back sack and blue rubber duck.
- More lessons, less holiday breaks: A PARC Swim membership includes access to the centre seven days a week outside of lesson times for the child and supervising adult as well as 44 lessons throughout the year with lessons continuing into the first week of the autumn, winter and spring school holidays. The more opportunities a child has to practise, the faster they are likely to progress and become safer around water and more confident swimmers. See our calendar for lesson times.
- Progression guarantee: We guarantee your child will progress up one level every 30 weeks subject to consistent attendance. There are some times this won’t happen due to the age and stage of development of the child and we will talk to you about this. In the case of non-progression, a second lesson each week will be offered to your child. *T&Cs apply.
- Qualified teachers: All our teachers are AUSTSWIM qualified with some licensed to teach multiple disciplines, including infants, adults and Access and Inclusion.
- Assessments: Children are assessed ongoing throughout each term and all data is uploaded to parent portal. Access to this is sent on email when first joining PARC Swim.
- Family discount – Families seeking to enrol multiple children will be entitled to a 10% discount on fees for the third and 25% discount for the fourth and subsequent children.
- Makeup classes: We offer makeup classes in the event you are unable to attend your class and have notified us prior to the lesson. Four make up lessons are offered each year, only one make up class may be taken each term.

- Holiday intensive programs: In the January school holiday period, we offer an intensive program for our students.
- Flexibility: You have the option to suspend membership when away or when you are unable to attend.* Eight weeks of suspension each calendar year are permitted, but if on suspension there is no free access to the centre available.
- Pathways: After graduation from our Advanced class (formerly level 9), we offer lifesaving programs such as the Royal Life Saving Society Bronze Star, Bronze Medallion and later on, access to pool lifeguard training.
