ABOUT
Our goal is to inspire all children to love the water and to be strong, capable swimmers for life.
Artemis Aquatics was born from our vision to teach the whole family essential life skills, because we know that aquatic safety and learning to swim are vital skills for all Australians.
Based in our world-class Artemis Centre in South Yarra, Artemis Aquatics Learn to Swim is open to the whole community for school aged children at a minimum age of 4 years old.
Our distinctive Learn to Swim Program maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio, allowing us to provide individualised attention to support each child’s progress. With a focus on enjoyment and developing strong technique across all four competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly), the program follows a customised and systematic approach to the development of skills, conditioning, and capabilities.
Water safety and personal survival skills feature at every level of the program, emphasising our commitment to developing confident and independent swimmers – physically, technically, socially, and cognitively.
Our Learn to Swim Framework consists of six progressive stages of learning and development:
The Artemis Aquatics Learn to Swim journey prepares our swimmers to be the swimmer they want to be…
… race-ready for school and club swim carnivals,
… competitive swimming and regular squad training,
… aquatic sports like water polo, surfing, lifesaving, triathlon, rowing, sailing or snorkeling,
… a lifetime of swimming and aquatic pursuits for fun, fitness, and recreation.

ABOUT OUR TEACHERS
A virtuous cycle of community
We value the importance of community, and creating a safe, welcoming and friendly environment. A majority of our teaching team are current and former Melbourne Girls Grammar students who share a passion in learning, giving back and caring for their younger sisters and brothers!
We believe that investing in ongoing teacher training and development through our mentoring program and in-house workshops is integral to their enjoyment, support and sense of belonging. Most importantly, we see the benefits of this paid forward in the swimmers taking lessons.
Led by our Head of Aquatics, Brad Harris, this ensures a graduated development pathway from learn to swim classes to our swimming club.
