Looking for a great way to keep the kids active, build their water confidence, and fast-track their skills? We are excited to open Expressions of Interest for our highly popular Swim School Intensive program at the Clarence Regional Aquatic Centre!

Our intensive holiday programs are a fantastic way for kids to make rapid progress. By attending lessons on consecutive days, swimmers retain what they learn much faster, helping them build vital water safety skills and stroke technique in a short amount of time.

We are planning to run two action-packed weeks of lessons:

✅ Week 1: Monday 6 July to Thursday 9 July
✅ Week 2: Monday 13 July to Thursday 17 July

Whether your child is just starting out on their swim journey or looking to refine their strokes, our dedicated instructors are ready to help them succeed in a supportive, and fun environment.

To register your interest and help us secure the best times for your family, please reach out to our team today. Simply email us at [email protected] to enquire and secure your spots which fill up fast.

We look forward to seeing you and the kids at the pool this holidays!

With the winter chill settling in, you might have noticed that our 50m outdoor pool has closed for its annual winter break. But don't let the cooler weather put a freeze on your fitness routine!

We want to reassure all our regular swimmers and fitness enthusiasts that you can still keep those laps going. Our 25m indoor pool remains open all year round for all your lap swimming and training needs!

It is the perfect warm retreat to stay active, healthy, and connected to your local community during the colder months. Our friendly team is ready to welcome you, so grab your goggles and head on in!

We look forward to seeing you in the warm water soon!

28/05/2026

Behind every great swim lesson at the Clarence Regional Aquatic Centre is a dedicated instructor. Today, we’re introducing Kerry, one of our fantastic Learn to Swim teachers who brings a wealth of patience and encouragement to the pool deck.

Kerry’s favourite part of teaching is seeing her students reach those early milestones:

"It’s when they realise they can swim, or when they achieve something simple like a rocket or blowing bubbles. The smile and the 'I did it!' is the absolute best part."

Her path to swim teaching started while she was training for triathlons and working busy hours as a disability support worker. Loving the water and wanting to encourage others, taking on casual swim shifts felt like a perfect fit.

For students who are feeling a bit nervous about starting out, Kerry’s approach is simple and reassuring:

"Go gently, gently. Provide lots of reassurance and relate it back to a bath or the shower, water they are already familiar with at home."

Kerry’s care and support are helping our local kids build vital and practical water skills every day.

Want to join our team or get your family started? We are always looking for great people to join our staff, and love welcoming new families to our swim school!
