Learn to swim program

The Rockingham Aquatic Centre provides learn to swim lessons which include a water safety component. Lessons start from four years of age with two lessons a week.  For the 2020/2021 season a direct debit membership option is available and allows students to swim free of charge outside of lesson times. 

At the end of each five week block of lessons the students are assessed against the Royal Lifesaving swim and survive program guidelines.  Certificates are awarded to those students who have completed the requirements of their present stage and they are moved up a class.

*Paid in full fees cover ten lessons over five weeks.

Between 21/12/2020 and 10/01/2020 there is a break for Christmas holidays. Training costs include entry for one adult and one child.  Payment must be made prior to commencing learn to swim lessons. A $10 fee is charged to establish direct debit swim school memberships.

We are proud to provide a quality swimming program that incorporates an introduction to competitive swimming that is designed to improve stroke technique and endurance to the Rockingham community. The program has been running for several years and students have had great success in faction and inter-school carnivals.

Squad training offers junior squad from 4pm–5pm, senior squad from 5pm–6pm. Each session runs for 60 minutes.

Payment options include direct debit and paid in full.

Ever considered swimming around Warnbro Sound? What about the mighty Avon Descent? Why not try swimming it in your local pool? The City of Rockingham and the Rockingham Aquatic Centre are setting you the challenge to 'Swim Around the Sound and Beyond'. It's easy! Simply:

• Complete and hand in a registration form
• Swim and count your number of laps
• Place your name and number of laps on our form.

Swim around the Sound and Beyond is a great way to start and stay being active during the warm summer months.

The program is very simple. Participants register at the Rockingham Aquatic Centre and choose their 'virtual' challenge, such as swimming around Penguin Island (4km), from Mersey Point to Bird Point (10km), to Rottnest Island (20km), around Garden Island (30km), the Bass Strait (97km) or the more challenging swim of the Avon Descent (133km). At the Rockingham Aquatic Centre participants endeavour to swim an accumulative total of laps to equal their chosen distance.

One of the most positive aspects of the program is that participants choose their own pace and times to achieve their distance with no additional fees from the normal pool entry. There are also some fabulous giveaways and prizes to be won and it is easy for participants to register and check their progress. For further information contact the Aquatic Centre on 9591 0830.
