Learn to Swim Program

Our Learn to Swim program teaches people of all ages and abilities to swim in a positive, friendly environment with fully certified swim teachers. We offer lessons from 6 months old through to adults across 19 different class levels within the nationally recognised Swim and Survive Learn to Swim program.

As part of your Aquatic membership, all participants receive access to the swimming pools during opening hours as we encourage continual learning through regular swim sessions. One supervising adult also receives free access while the child is swimming. Please note that a parent/guardian must be available during the lesson for children under 10.

Book a free assessment

For children who are new to MAC, we require school aged students to undergo a full assessment. To book a free assessment, create a free guest profile and book a 'MACqua Ed Assessment' under the 'bookings' tab for your child/ren. Alternatively you can contact MAC by phoning 9032 4100. 

Bookings can be made any time of the year.

Lessons times

Lessons are held every day of the week at a wide variety of times and operate in conjunction with the school terms. As part of your Learn to Swim membership, all participants receive free access to the swimming pools at all times as we encourage continual learning through regular play sessions. One supervising adult also receives free access while the child is swimming.

Please note that a parent/guardian must be available prior to the commencement of the class and immediately at the conclusion.

Lessons for adults

We believe that it's never too late to learn how to swim and MAC has a number of specialist teachers who teach adults how to swim. MAC offers a beginner and intermediate level of adult swimming lessons and are conducted separately from children’s lessons. Lessons are held in the teaching pool (1 metre deep) with the more advanced levels conducted in the main pool (1.1m - 2m deep).
