Every student is issued with a membership card which must be presented to reception at either Churchill, Moe Newborough or Morwell to gain entry to the pool.

All current Swim Academy students have access to the Churchill, Morwell and Moe / Newborough facilties to practice their skills and develop confidence around the water.

Swimwear, towel, warm clothes to get changed into after their session and goggles (optional)

We also encourage participants to bring a drink bottle for after their lesson as well. 

Each student receives a progress book upon enrolment, detailing each level and the skills required for completion. An overview of the progressions can be found here

Our qualified and experienced instructors are continually assessing your child. When your child has completed a level, you will be asked for the progress book for updating. In addition, you will receive four email per year to update you on your child’s progress and tips to help them continue improving. You may request an update on your child’s progress whenever you need, at reception or emailing your Learn to Swim Supervisor.

All of our teachers at the Latrobe Leisure Swim Academy hold a;

• nationally accredited Teacher of Swimming & Water Safety certificate
• A current CPR and
• A first aid certificate.

They all hold Working with Children Checks and have undergone a Criminal History Record screen and Safeguarding Children and Young People training.

All teachers that teach infant lessons hold an additional specialised qualification.

If your child is under three & half years old and / or enrolled into one of our infant classes (Jellyfish 1, Jellyfish 2, Jellyfish 3, Jellyfish 4) then a parent/guardian must be in the water for the lesson.

Yes, yourself or an attending guardian aged 16 years or over is required to be present on pool deck during your child’s lesson. This helps your child to feel safe and supported, they also love showing their skills off to you!

We understand that sometimes you may need to use the bathroom/change room facilities during a class, please let your child and instructor know where you will be in case they need you.

At the end of each lesson, your instructor will ask your child to go directly to you, please assist them by being visible and attentive to your child. We don’t want your little ones getting lost or feeling worried.  

We understand the importance of capturing special moments in your child's development, however the privacy of others must be respected.



For this reason we do not allow photos or videos to be taken on pool deck or in the change room areas.

Goggles are not a compulsory part of our program, however we highly recommend children gain experience both with and without goggles.



They may appear insignificant but they can make a large difference to a child’s learning journey as they progress through swimming lessons. Most children who do not wear goggles close their eyes as they swim. This can lead to them becoming disorientated or preoccupied which makes them unable to focus on their stroke technique.

We offer a great range of affordable youth goggles at reception of our facilties. 

Infants are required to wear aqua nappies that are tight fitting around the thighs if they wear a standard nappy when not swimming. Standard nappies are not permitted in the pool as they may leak and are also extremely uncomfortable for children once they become fully wet.

Aqua nappies are available for purchase at reception of each of our facilities.

You can begin the cancellation process by completing the Learn to Swim Cancel Enrolment Form.
