The importance of Learn to Swim instruction in Australia can’t be understated. Living on the Central Coast, a love of all things aquatic is instilled at an early age. Unfortunately, many leave teaching children basic swim and survive skills until it is too late.
Each summer, the incidence of drowning in Australia is increasing at a terrifying rate. Introducing your children to learn to swim on the Central Coast with qualified Austswim instructors is truly giving your children a skill for life.

How to find a Learn to Swim program on the Central Coast

The Mingara Aquatics Learn to Swim program follows the Royal Life Saving Swim and Survive program. Our Learn to Swim instructors are carefully selected for their experience, interaction and communication with the children and for their passion for teaching children a skill for life.
