From learners to masters and competitive age group swimmers vying for national times. Open water swimming is a fast growing sport and we are proud to be part of providing responsible and professional open water swim coaching. You can’t enter the summer open water events or triathlons without training in the sea and interval training in the pool.
Challenge Yourself Group (Shallow water)
This group has limited numbers and is suitable for people transitioning to open water swimming. You’ll get coaching advice and swim about 800m – 1km total in 40 minutes.
The Challenge Yourself Group focuses on the basics of relaxed freestyle technique. You will develop confidence and skills ito swim in the ocean.

Many swimmers ‘graduate’ and move up from the 8am class to our 9am Swim Around the Yellow Poles Group
9AM Swim Around the Yellow Poles Group
This is our most popular group. We provide a safety and support team to keep an eye on conditions around you, so you can relax and enjoy the sea. Open water swimming is a sport for everyone.
This group has been swimming at Williamstown Beach at 9am Saturdays since 2015.
We set up a 700m swimming course and provide supervision and backup from First Aiders on boards and kayaks.
You relax, set your own pace and number of laps and enjoy swimming in the sea. This is just a great way to start the weekend.

Stroke correction, 1 on 1 and small group classes
Yes, you can improve your swimming quickly, but you can’t do it alone. You need a coach to set you a professional training program and ensure your technique is efficient.
Stroke Improvement Group is every second Sunday morning 9am – 11am at VU Aquatic, Footscray. We use video, equipment, two coaches and intensive feedback and drills to help you improve quickly.
BOOK HERE FOR STROKE IMPROVEMENT GROUP.
You can add-on a full underwater video analysis of your swimming for $99. This is worth doing if you’re serious about correcting your swimming and getting faster and stronger.
I have taught many adult learn-to-swimmers, competitive masters swimmers and tri-athletes over decades of teaching and coaching.
Pool training squad every Tuesday and Thursday at 7.30pm
Every Tuesday and Thursday evening at VU Aquatic we train for fitness and fun. We have a Masters team but most of our swimmers are here because one hour of swimming is the best way to stay fit, healthy and happy.
