21.01.2022 Now is the time to get back to swimming! Although our Swim School has been lucky enough to see a recovery after COVID in Western Australia, there are many Primary Schools that will not be able to provide the annual swimming lessons due to overbooked leisure centers as they try to find space for cancelled sessions in Terms 1 & 2 this year. Did you know, that Independent and Private Primary Schools can also OPT OUT of providing these life skills all together?! That's almost 1/...3 of the children in WA who don't participate in swimming lessons unless their parents can afford it / there is a facility close by / their parents have time to take them. Term 4 starts on Saturday 17th October and goes for 9 weeks. Email [email protected] today to find out how you can be safer in and around water this Summer

20.01.2022 Swim Mechanix Byford is a proud member of the Australian Swim Schools Association and can't wait for our Term 4 to start tomorrow!
