Swimming Program Timetables
At Valentine Swim centre in Lake Macquarie, we offer engaging and confidence-building swimming lessons in our clean, heated pools. Our programs follow a structured 10-week schedule, aligning with the school term to provide consistent and effective learning for swimmers of all ages.
For children needing extra support, we run intensive learn-to-swim and stroke correction classes during most school holidays. These focused sessions help swimmers refine their techniques and build confidence through daily instruction, leading to faster skill development.
