    Our YMCA Swimming Lesson Program is fully mapped to and aligned with Victorian Essential Learning Standards. We provide programs suitable for primary or secondary school students. In a practical environment students will develop physical skills, knowledge and understanding of a range of aquatic situations and participate in essential water safety and survival skills education.

    Classes are usually run in the following format:

    • classes have a teacher to student ratio of 1:10.
