Intensive School Holiday Programs

Intensive school holiday programs are offered at all Surrey Park Swimming locations in Box Hill, Box Hill South, Blackburn, and Heidelberg. Our intensive swimming lessons are available to Kindergarten, primary school age, secondary school age children and our learn to swim squad swimmers. Limited private one on one lessons are available and offered to inclusion, preschool, school age, teen, and adult swimmers.

Our Learn to Dive intensive programs are offered at our Box Hill facility – Aqualink Box Hill. These diving lessons are for students 5+ years who are confident in deep water and want to learn the sport of diving. We cater to all abilities, from introduction, beginner, and intermediate divers. Upon graduating our diving lesson program, divers are recommended to join our affiliated diving club. These programs are offered on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and do not operate on public holidays.

Our intensive programs have produced excellent results for students who wish to consolidate progress made during the term. They are a great opportunity to introduce your child to our learn to swim and dive programs for the first time or if your child is new to a level, needs to master a skill, or close to promotion. Holiday programs are also great if you are looking for a structured activity and are a great alternative if you cannot make lessons during the term.

Students at our Box Hill location can stay and play at Aqualink Box Hill for as long as you like at no extra charge. The kids will have fun utilising Aqualink’s Tarzan Rope, inflatable, open diving Boards, tipping bucket and water slides.

  • Great first introduction to swimming or diving
  • Excellent way to introduce your child to their new level
  • Fast track your child’s level as students often progress quickly
  • Consolidate that challenging skill
  • More devoted time to master those racing dives, tumble turns, breaststroke kick, butterfly etc.
  • If students have a goal in mind for the program, the should inform their teacher at their first lesson

Level progression

Swimming and diving lessons follow the same progression and level structure as our term lessons. Swimming lessons in the holidays are for our preschool program (Pre-Level 1), school age program (Level 1 – Development Squad), teen lessons (Beginner and Intermediate), and private lessons for all students.

Diving lessons only have one level with 30 star skills to achieve. The coach will cater to each individual’s diving ability during the diving lesson.
