Swim Fit
Swim Fit: Like a run club for swimming!
Swim Fit offers group swimming sessions, supervised by our qualified instructors, to help participants stay fit and motivated. These sessions focus on improving technique, distance, strength, and overall fitness in a fun, social setting.
Swimming provides numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular fitness, low-impact exercise, a full-body workout, stress relief, better posture, and increased flexibility. Join our Swim Fit program to maximise these benefits while meeting fellow GEL swimmers!
Is Swim Fit a Swim Squad?
Swim Fit sessions are more casual than a Swim Squad.
The sessions are run by one of our swim instructors, not a coach, and the goal is self-improvement in a fun setting - not breaking records or competitive training.
With that said, we strongly encourage you to use the sessions to smash your own goals – why not join our FREE Lap It Up Club to track your laps and win prizes?!
How do I know if Swim Fit is for me?
Swim Fit sessions are perfect for swimmers with an intermediate level of swimming skill who can comfortably swim 500 metres and are looking to connect with other swimmers and build their skills. The sessions are designed to let you move at your own pace and work towards achieving your individual goals.
If you're looking for an easy introduction, the Wednesday evening sessions especially focus on independent and slower-paced training.

Join Academy of Swimming!
The Glen Eira Academy of Swimming commenced at GESAC in 2012 for competitive & recreational members, ranging from national level athletes through to first-time squad swimmers.
Located in the 50m heated outdoor pool and 25m indoor heated pools, the program runs six days a week and is part of the centre’s comprehensive aquatic education program.
For us, the Glen Eira Academy of Swimming is about more the swimming, it’s about building a family of people who love and value swimming, the lessons it teaches us, and the long term relationships we gain together by helping kids learn and grow.
Reasons why our members love the program!
– Competitions for first-timers through to State level swimmers (optional)
– Friendly environment with a “lifestyle swimming” feel within the group
– Focus that encourages consistency, learning and the enjoyment of the sport.
– Members have the option to swim once, twice or unlimited times per week… (we recommend at least twice a week)

– Many swimmers join our program to train for personal overall health or as a second sport.
– Family ran business
