Swim safe program

Swimming support for those who are new to Australia

Our Swim Safe program is available to Macquarie University international students.

• Duration - 5-week program (1 day per week)
• Cost: $10 - payable upon online enrolment

These sessions may include guest speakers from NSW Royal Life Saving Society, Surf Life Saving NSW and other aquatic services.

Practical components will help you learn basic swimming skills and water safety knowledge in time for Summer.

The theory in this course will help you identify risks, hazards and dangers in all aquatic environments.

Please note, this program is not a Learn to Swim Program, but an introduction to water safety in Australia.

Facilitated by our trained Swim School staff, the goal of this program is to help international students develop not only knowledge, but confidence. Bookings are required, so please fill in this form to receive more information about the upcoming program.
