VICSWIM Summer Kidz 2025 Update
Aquatics and Recreation Victoria (ARV) are launching the 2025 VICSWIM Summer Kidz Program (VICSWIM).
VICSWIM is an intensive program catered to children aged 4-12, ensuring every child has an opportunity to learn how to swim, develop essential water safety skills, and build confidence around water.
The program will run from the Monday 6 January to Friday 24 January 2025 in over 150 locations statewide. Enrolments for the program will open at 10:00 am on Wednesday 13 November 2024 through the VICSWIM website.
VICSWIM aims to provide affordable and accessible swimming and water safety education to children across Victoria.
“VICSWIM is dedicated to making swimming accessible to all families, especially those from marginalized communities,” said ARV CEO Kathy Parton.
“By delivering low-cost, one-week intensive swimming lessons focused on water safety across Victoria—including rural and remote areas—we are ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn vital skills, regardless of their background.”
The cost of the program in 2025 is $35 per week per child, plus an $8 booking fee.
By creating a positive and supportive learning environment, it is hoped VICSWIM acts as a catalyst for a lifelong enjoyment of aquatics.
