Ideal for women of all ages who are non-swimmers, the Adult Learn to Swim program offers women the chance to acquire essential water safety and swimming skills.
This initiative is particularly valuable for those who have not had the opportunity to learn to swim due to cultural, financial, or personal barriers.
With the importance of water safety in Australia, this program provides a safe environment for women to develop their swimming skills, boosting confidence in and around water.
Additionally, the program offers opportunities for women to pursue training and potentially enter the swim instruction field, creating pathways to employment.
