Kinross Wolaroi’s Outstanding Junior Swimming Program
At Kinross Wolaroi Junior School, we believe every child should have the opportunity to develop essential water safety skills, build confidence, and experience the joy of swimming. From Kindergarten onwards, our students benefit from a structured, high-quality swimming program designed to support their growth, fitness, and skill development—all at no additional cost to parents.
A Comprehensive Swimming Journey
Our Junior School swimming program is thoughtfully designed to align with each student’s developmental stage, providing a seamless progression from foundational water safety to more advanced swimming techniques.

Junior Swimming Squads – Taking It Further
For students who wish to continue their swimming journey beyond regular lessons, we offer Junior School Squads—a fantastic opportunity to refine technique, develop endurance, and learn race skills. Held at our on-campus 25-metre pool in the Anderson Centre, these squads provide convenience and flexibility for busy families.
