DR Swim - Learn to Swim
We do not run VacSwim, or are able to help with bookings or information. VacSwim is run by the Department of Education.
Programs
We provide a safe and engaging environment for school-age children aged 4 years and above. Our group courses are designed to ensure personalized attention for each child. As a result Stage 1 is capped at 4 swimmers, Stage 2&3 at 5 swimmers, and Stage 4-6 capped at 6 swimmers. Stages 7 and up, where the swimmers become more independent, we run slightly larger classes. With stages ranging from Stage 1 to Stage 9, our AUSTSWIM qualified instructors, all holding Working with Children Checks and current CPR certifications, are dedicated to helping your child develop essential swimming skills. Join us for a fun and educational swimming experience!
Book Online
All bookings must be completed online to secure your spot and process payment. If you are using a Kidsport Voucher, please reach out to us, and we will assist you in processing the voucher and making your reservation.
What will we learn?
Our programs are designed to equip you with essential skills for safety in and around water. Upon graduation, you'll master key abilities such as treading water, floating, safe entry and exit, survival swimming while clothed, assisted rescues, and basic swimming skills. Get ready to transition from Learn to Swim into our Squad Program with confidence!
​
Our last stage of swimming is Squad Transition where you will learn the skills required for squad swimming, including how to read a set, swimming off a pace clock, increased swim distances, and other skills to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Graduation
Congratulations on graduating from DR Swim!
The next exciting step in your swimming journey is to join our squad training program. This program will enhance your skills with a focus on technique and speed, allowing you to compete against fellow swimmers at our club meets at Darling Range Sports College or Guildford Grammar, as well as Swimming WA meets at HBF Stadium.
As a token of appreciation for your dedication, the Guildford Kalamunda Districts Swimming Club is pleased to offer you a special New Member offer. Please reach out to the club for more details!
