Dive Into the Free Swim Lesson Trial Weekend at City of Sydney Pools

If you're thinking about swimming lessons but not sure where to start, City of Sydney Pools has you covered! Their Swim Lesson Trial Weekend gives families the chance to experience our swim school program, meet the teachers and find the right swimming class, all without having to dive straight into a commitment.

This spring, four City of Sydney aquatic centres are opening their swim schools for the special Swim Lesson Trial Weekend, with free 10-minute swim assessments for children aged 3 years and over and adults, where qualified City of Sydney swim teachers will get to know the swimmer, answer your questions and provide a personalised recommendation for the most suitable Learn to Swim level.

It’s a great opportunity to see how the program works, chat with the qualified swim teachers at your local centre and help your child feel comfortable in the pool before enrolling in lessons.

Make a Day of It

There’s more happening than just swimming. Families can enjoy free pool entry on the day, fun games for children, giveaways and spring refreshments.

Families can access exclusive enrolment offers on the day, including a limited-edition kids swim school hooded towel while stocks last. Plus, you will go into the draw to win a month of swimming lessons.

For child registrations, free pool entry is available for the registered child and one parent or guardian. For adult registrations, entry is for the registered participant only.

Build Confidence Before Summer

The City of Sydney Learn to Swim program supports swimmers of different ages and abilities and provides a welcoming and inclusive environment where swimmers can improve their skills and build the foundations for safety in and around the water. 

Regular lessons help children develop water confidence, independence and essential lifesaving skills, and with summer on the horizon, spring is the best time to help your child get ready for fun in the water!
