MAC's adult swim lessons are the Western suburbs leading program and can help people of all ages and abilities become more confident swimmers.

Swimming is a skill for life and it’s important to keep progressing with regular lessons so you can be confident in the water year round.

Watch Around Water is an industry-wide standard that MAC applies as policy to keep children safe within our pools. 

Children under 5 years old and the supervising adult are required to wear a pink wristband at all times. The supervising guardian must be within arm’s reach and in the water with the child outside of class times. The supervising parent/guardian receives complimentary entry to the pool to be in the water with their child outside of their lesson and must also wear a pink wristband. The supervision ratio at all times for children under 5 is two to one guardian. 

During classes, a parent/guardian must be actively supervising at all times. 

Children under 10 years old must wear a yellow wristband and a parent/guardian must be present and actively supervising at all times, even during swimming lessons. 

The supervising parent/guardian does not need to be in the water and receives complimentary access to supervise the child from the pool’s edge. However, if they intend on getting into the water with their child before or after their swim lesson they must pay the applicable fee or have an appropriate MAC membership. The supervision ratio at all times for children under 10 is four to one guardian. 

Children 10 years old and over are encouraged to have a supervising parent/guardian with them, however, they may access the facility without supervision. It is important that parents/guardians use their knowledge of an individual child’s swimming ability and general development to determine the accompaniment required. 

The minimum age for a supervising adult is 16 years old and to provide appropriate active supervision you must position yourself to have a clear view of the child with no physical or structural barriers between yourself and the child/children. 

Adult-to-child supervision ratios of one adult to four children under 10 years old apply at all times, with no more than two children under 5 at any given time. MAC staff reserve the right to remove any child from the water if they are concerned for their safety.
