Open Day fun for the whole family

Twenty-three endorsed swim schools across the State have thrown open their doors to encourage all West Australian kids to learn to Swim and Survive. The Swim School Open Days have  been taking place in the lead-up to summer, with activities including free swim assessments, so parents can better understand what stage their child is at and enroll accordingly.

The Open Days have been run to promote Royal Life Saving’s Swim & Survive program, as well as the great work of our Endorsed Swim Schools. It’s all part of a bigger plan to ensure that all WA children learn vital swimming and water safety skills.

As part of the Open Days, parents and students have been able to have a look at the pool and centre facilities in their local area, participate in a free swimming assessment, as well as many other fun activities and giveaways. Dippy Duck and Walter the Watch Dog also made regular appearances, and proved to be a hit with the kids!

Altone Park Leisure Centre had a huge 260 visitors on its open day, while the other endorsed swim schools also had great numbers through the door. The Open Days have happened at Waterwise Swim School, Rockingham Aquatic Centre, Mandurah Aquatic Centre, Margaret River Swim School, Wanneroo Aquamotion, Cannington Leisureplex, Manjimup Aquacentre, Narrogin Swim School, Gratwick Aquatic Centre, Altone Park Leisure Centre, Riverton Leisureplex, Wickham Aquatic Centre, Bayswater Waves, Aqua Jetty, Ballajura Aquatic Centre, The Swim School Merriwa, The Swim School Ocean Reef, Carnarvon Aquatic Centre, Little Lappers Swim School, Murray Leisure Centre, The Swim School Wangara, Seadragonz Swim School & Swim Mechanix.

The final Swim School Open Day is still to come at Swim Mechanix (Subiaco Primary School) on Saturday 18th November from 11am.
