Our Holiday Intensive Programs produce great results! Intensive programs are a great way to consolidate progress made during the term.

2. Water Safety Intensives (30 minutes, 5 consecutive days)
Real water safety skills for summer confidence
Summer means pools, holidays, and more time around water, and water safety matters. Our Kids Water Safety Intensive is a 5-session program designed to build calm confidence, essential safety skills, and smart decision-making in the water. This program focuses on survival and safety skills, not just swimming laps.
What your child will learn:
- Safe entry and exit
- Floating and resting safely
- Breath control and calm responses
- How to move to safety
- What to do if they feel tired or unsure
- Listening and responding to safety instructions
All lessons are taught in a calm, supportive environment, with experienced instructors who prioritise safety, trust, and steady progress.

Water Safety Classes for Adults (30 minutes, 5 consecutive days)
This is for adults who feel nervous around water, have a bit of aquaphobia, or have avoided swimming because it never felt safe or comfortable.
This program is ideal if you:
- feel anxious in the water
- want water safety skills, not just strokes
- are returning to swimming after time away
- want a confidence boost before ongoing lessons
You can book either Week 1 or Week 2. Each week is a 5-day program, with short, focused 30-minute sessions designed to build calm, confidence, and control in the water.
- What the week focuses on:
- Water safety and feeling secure in the pool
- Breathing and staying calm
- Getting comfortable with water on your face and body.
- Floating, balance, and gentle movement
- Learning how to relax instead of panic
There’s no pressure to “swim.” No being thrown in the deep end.
Everything is done at your pace, with instructors who understand adult fear and anxiety around water.
If water has always felt like a barrier for you, this program is a safe place to start changing that.
Week 1 and Week 2 spots are now open
Class Size: 5 max
3. Private Lessons (30 minutes, consecutive days)
We also offer Private Classes during the holidays! Get even more out of your Swim and/or Water Safety Intensive with a 1-on-1 session!

5. Splash Pass Sessions (1 hour, single booking)
Splash Pass Session: 1 hour activity! The Splash Pass is exclusively for patrons of BEST Aquatics, however, you can choose to bring a friend along so they can enjoy the facilities too. The Splash pass gives you access to the hot/cold plunge pools, the deep pool and our main pool. This is a great opportunity to have a swim while your kids are having a lesson! You can also choose to buy a Splash pass for the hour even if your kids are not enrolled in the holiday program, you just need to be a patron of BEST Aquatics (or attending with a patron of BEST Aquatics). Book your time for Splash Pass here.
What is a Holiday Intensive?
Basically, it has sessions similar to our term programs, but rather than just coming 30 minutes 1 day per week for 10 weeks, you do 30 minutes every day of the week for 5 days (or 4 days depending on Public Holidays). This format allows us to extend swimmers more than a normal term program can. An Intensive can also be an excellent way to breakthrough challenges that you might have been having with your swimming technique. Kids really love Holiday Intensives because it is something 'different' to the format they are used to, and we always work some extra fun activities in as well. Holiday Intensive Swimming is also an great way to ensure that you swimmers get plenty of exercise during the school break.
WHO NEEDS AN ASSESSMENT?
If your child does not currently swim with us, or it has been longer than 6 months since your child was last enrolled with us, they will require an assessment prior to booking the holiday program.
This assessment is essential for us to see which level is best suited for your child to maximise their learning experience.
We run assessments year-round, so if your child requires an assessment to participate,
please contact us and let us know you would like to book an assessment. Assessments are free-of-charge.
Your child will not require an assessment if they were actively enrolled with us in Term 1 or Term 2 of 2026 or if they have attended one of our sister schools at KICK Edgecliff or KICK Hervey Bay in the past 6 months.
.
If an assessment is not required for your child, please email holidays@bestaquatics.com.au or call us and let us know 1 or 2 preferred class times.
