GOswim Academy Program

Developed in partnership with industry experts, GOswim Academy forms a part of the GOswim program. Helping kids across Australia develop their swimming skills at a pace that’s right for them. Here at Ascot Vale we want to increase participation in swimming in a fun and engaging way!
 
Research has revealed that thousands of kids stop swimming because it stops being fun. Industry experts and the GOswim Academy program have developed a mixture of offerings to encourage continued participation in aquatic activity through competitive and reactional lap swimming.
 
This is an exciting program where kids across Australia can have fun with their friends and improve their swimming in a safe, social and non-competitive environment.

The Curriculum

The curriculum for this program builds on the core and foundation elements learnt in swimming and water safety education. Each skill is broken down into segmented and achievable components that streamline and refine technique and enhance the development of efficiency and endurance.

Level One

Level one is designed to continue the learning of new aquatic skills whilst refining those previously learnt swimming skills. Utilising them in a variety of simulated scenarios and aquatic disciplines.

Level Two

Level two is designed to equip the student with all the skills required to become the swimmer they want to be. Skills included in the stage cover all aquatic disciplines, water safety and recreational swimming.

Aimed at kids who have already learnt the basics of swimming, GOswim Academy is designed for students aged between the ages of 8 and 14 years old. It’s perfect for kids who are ready for junior squads, or for those interested in getting ready for the competitive swimming club environment.

Our current Academy sessions are on Monday and Thursday which are 45mins in duration. For further information please get in contact or speak to our friendly team at reception.
