Frequently asked questions
Where is the pool from Yallambie?
We're located in Heidelberg, around 7 minutes from Yallambie via Lower Plenty and Roseanna Road. The pool is at 113 Cape Street, there's some free on-site parking and if you're coming by public transport, we are just a 5 minute walk away.
What age can babies start swimming lessons?
Babies can start from around 3 to 6 months old. Our parent and child classes are designed for those very early stages, gentle, unhurried, and focused on helping your baby feel safe and comfortable in the water rather than rushing any particular skill. Many families find this age is actually the easiest time to start, before any water nervousness has had a chance to develop.
Is a mineral pool better for my child's skin?
Many families find it makes a noticeable difference, particularly for children with sensitive skin, eczema or easily irritated eyes. Our mineral water is softer than a standard chlorine pool, less chemical smell, less dryness afterwards, and generally a more comfortable experience in and out of the water. We can't promise it will suit every child, but it's one of the most common things new families mention after their first lesson.
Do you cater for nervous or anxious swimmers?
Yes, and it's something we think about carefully. Our pool is quieter and smaller than a council learn-to-swim facility, which makes a real difference for children who feel overwhelmed by noise or crowds. Our instructors are used to working with children who need more time, there's no pressure to keep up with a group, and we'd rather a child leave the lesson feeling good about the water than tick a box. If your child has had a difficult experience elsewhere, it's worth getting in touch before you enrol so we can suggest the right class.
How do I find out about class times and enrol?
The easiest way is to fill in our enquiry form and we'll come back to you with available class times that suit your child's age and ability. If you'd prefer to talk it through first, you're welcome to call us directly, especially if you have a younger baby or a child with specific needs, as it helps to have a quick conversation before placing them in a class. Note upon enrolling, all our customers must fill in our enrolment form so we can set you up with an account.

What families say about learn to swim victoria
This place is amazing
As an adult, learning to swim it can be very intimidating getting into the pool. The staff and instructor's here are wonderful and supportive, even with my non existent skill and zero confidence in the water they where able to help me step by step to build up the basics and help me towards my swimming goals. 10/10.
Clay
A gem of a place
for kids to learn swimming while having fun. Two very happy kids in the summer holiday program and couldn’t be happier with the progress and smiles on the kids faces. Seeing the children develop into confident and competent swimmers in a week is very satisfying. My reluctant kids now cannot wait for the class very day. Raff and Linus are amazing teachers.
Shez
Indoor pool with friendly professional instructors.
Very organised and structured lessons. After 2 terms of lessons our children have had a noticeable improvement in their skills.
