Learn to Swim
Casey Leisure offers a safe and inclusive swim lesson program that focuses on water safety, life-saving skills and building confidence in and around the water.
Our program runs for 46 weeks of the year, from January through to December, with classes across 7 days at our Casey ARC and Casey RACE venues.
As part of this commitment to safety, we have partnered with Royal Life Saving to provide our community with the Swim and Survive, a nationally recognised program.
We offer Learn To Swim at the following Casey Leisure centres:
Swim and Survive program
The Swim and Survive program aligns with the National Swimming and Water Safety framework.
Swim and Survive is a comprehensive swimming and water safety initiative that seeks to increase the swimming and water safety skills of all Australian children in order 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 programs that seek to build swimming skills. Swim and Survive is all of these, but most importantly it ensures that the essential components of personal survival and water safety are provided, in addition to a process of developing strong and effective swimming technique.
Program levels
Our Swim and Survive program offers classes for all levels, from infants to adults. Each class is led by a qualified and experienced instructor who is dedicated to providing a safe and enjoyable learning environment.
A water familiarisation program for parents and their children aged 12 to 36 months.
A program that builds water confidence for preschool aged children between the ages of 3–5 years.
A swimming and water safety program for school aged children between the ages of 5–14 years.
We offer swimming lessons for teens and adults. Whether you have never swum before, or want to improve breathing and stroke technique, we have classes available for everyone of all skill levels.

If an account has two consecutive failed withdrawals, the student may lose their class spot, and swim lesson access will be canceled. For a canceled membership due to missed payments, you must settle the outstanding balance before re-enrolling.

It’s normal for young kids to struggle to adjust to lessons, and most settle in within a few weeks. However, we suggest parents bring their swimwear in case their child needs extra support.
Swimsuit, towel, goggles, and dry clothes to change into after. Children often get hungry post-lesson, so a drink and snack are a good idea. We also have a café.
Goggles aren’t required for our program; however, we highly recommend kids practice with and without them. Goggles can significantly impact a child’s lesson progress.
Many kids tend to close their eyes underwater without goggles, leading to disorientation and difficulty focusing on stroke technique. We offer affordable youth goggles; just ask our staff.

Children under 10 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian aged 16 or over, including during swim lessons.
