Learn to Swim

Programs to suit all skill levels. You’ll be swimming in no time!

Our Program

Bay Pavilions has partnered with Royal Life Saving to provide the community with the Swim and Survive program.

This program has been updated to align with the recently released National Swimming and Water Safety framework. Swim and Survive is a comprehensive swimming and water safety initiative that seeks to increase swimming and water safety skills of all Australian children to prevent drowning and increase participation in safe aquatic activity.

Learn to swim, swimming lessons and infant aquatics are all terms commonly used across the aquatic industry for swimming skills programs. Swim and Survive is all of these, but most importantly it ensures essential components of personal survival and water safety are provided, in addition to a process of developing strong and effective swimming techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I cannot join at the beginning of a term?

Swimmers can join at any point during the year. Payments will commence once a swimmer has begun sessions and will align with our fortnightly debiting cycle.

What if my child is sick?

If your child is sick, you can complete a make-up lesson on another day/time. A minimum 2 hours’ notice of student’s lesson. Students have 5 make up lessons per semester, they do not carry over each semester and there are no refunds for non-attendance of lessons and must be used within the current semester.

Can I have all my children in the same class?

Classes are graded based on the child’s swimming ability. If your children are at the same level, they will be able to be in the same class. However, if their ability differs, they will be graded accordingly.

I would love for my child’s class to be at a similar time to their cousins, do I get the option to choose?

We will always try to accommodate our customers requests, but we will not be able to meet all requests because of class availability.

Are the classes listed all we have or are they graded within those categories?

Levels 1, 2, and 3 are the only classes that can be used for both preschool and school aged children. 1PL, 2PL, 3PL for pre-schoolers or 1SL, 2SL, 3SL for school aged children.

Do you offer trial lessons?

No, we don’t do trial lessons, but we have the option to change your child’s class if the class level is too easy or too hard.

Do I need to stay at the centre during my child’s class or can I leave and come back?

Yes, you need to stay in the centre in case your child needs you.

How long do I need to supervise my child in the pool area?

1. Children should not be allowed entry unless under active supervision of a parent or carer 16 years of age or older.

2. Children aged 0-5 years and non-swimmers – parents/carers must be in the water and stay within arms’ reach of their
child(ren) at all times.

3. Children aged 6-10 years – parents/carers must be close, maintain constant visual contact and be prepared to enter the water at any time.

4. Children aged 11-14 years – parents/carers are to maintain visual contact.

Do you offer a mums and bubs class for my child under 12 months?

Yes, this class is called Little Wonders 01.

My child is scared of water, but I want them to learn to swim. Will they be able to join a class?

Yes, we have classes for all ages & abilities.

My child is 2yrs old and toilet trained, do they need to wear a nappy?

All children under 2 years of age need to wear a special swim nappy whilst using pools and Splash Park at Bay Pavilions.

What do students need to bring/wear?

Children should have swimmers they are used to wearing and feel comfortable and confident wearing. Goggles are good for protecting eyes from the chlorine, but they can take time away from lessons when not fitted properly. Children should practice wearing goggles before they start lessons.

Can my child access the facilities outside of their lesson time if they are enrolled in swim school?

Yes, they can! Just not the tower waterslides.

Can my child use the waterslides?

The waterslides are an added feature and are not included in the aquatic/swim school memberships. You would need to purchase a waterslide pass to use this feature.

Can I change the day/time of my child’s booking?

Yes, you can subject to availability. You can change your child’s permanent booking at any time by calling the centre or speaking with the Swim Captain on duty at the centre.

Can I talk to my child’s instructor directly about lessons or my child’s progress?

Our instructors have a very brief window between your class and their next, so it is best to find the swim school captain This ensures that you receive the time required to discuss any questions you might have. Asking our instructors directly may eat into your or another child’s valuable lesson time.

What if I or my child would like to change class times or instructors?

You are welcome to change times or instructors at any point throughout a session. We understand that schedules change, and sometimes rearranging lessons is part of that. Please be mindful that changing times or instructors is dependent on yours or an instructor’s availability or class vacancies.
