You can use our map to find programs on offer at venues near you.

Open the Venue location map.
Select the door icon from the top left of the map. A menu with a list will appear.
Select the box next to the name of the program you're interested in. A list of venues will appear beneath the program name in the menu. The map will also populate with icons.
You can either:

select an icon on the map and the venue will appear on the list in the menu.

Once you find a program and venue, you're ready to enrol in VacSwim.

Pool entry fees for the December and January programs are free.

At most pools, children need adult supervision. VacSwim instructors have a shared duty of care for children in the lessons while it runs. You need to be poolside to provide personal care for your child and in case of an emergency.

Lessons are at indoor and outdoor venues, so we encourage all children to be sun-smart.
