These swim lessons will promote opportunities for you to bond with your baby alongside social interactions with other mums and caregivers in your local area.
Lessons foster confidence for both the baby and mother/caregiver in the water and provide practical takeaway skills to use at home or any swimming pool.
This introductory water familiarisation class is designed to build basic skills that prepare mums/caregivers and their infants for the enjoyable journey through our learn-to-swim levels.

Your donations will bring joy and hope to these children, showing them that they are genuinely cared for by their local community and not forgotten.
Thank you in advance for sharing the true spirit of Christmas.
Father Dan Talbot
College Chaplain
A message from Anglicare…
“Christmas is a time for giving and sharing joy with loved ones.
It’s a time for giving, a time for reflection, and a time for hope.
Across our services, we have many clients who won’t have friends or family to spend the festive season with.
Clients, who will struggle to provide their children with a Christmas meal, let alone presents or activities these holidays.
You can help make this Christmas bright for someone in need.
By donating a gift, you are letting them know they are not alone.”
