Looking to give your kids an edge as they learn to swim? Then Blacktown Leisure Centre, Stanhope's school holiday learn-to-swim program 'Acceler8' is for you!

'Acceler8' is an intensive learn-to-swim program for children aged 6 to 12 years and runs during all school holidays. The program focuses on teaching basic swimming skills and increasing competence in all four strokes. The program aims to produce strong and safe swimmers, with all instructors AUSTSWIM accredited.

Swimming is a skill for life and a great form of exercise that can help to keep you fit and toned. Most importantly, knowing how to swim greatly reduces the risk of drowning.

Acceler8 will run during the Autumn School Holidays from Monday 13 July to Friday 24 July, 2009 (excluding weekends and public holidays). To book simply complete an enrolment form at reception or call 9421 2600 to book over the phone.
