If you’ve been thinking about enrolling your kids in swimming lessons before summer, this is the deal to jump on.
One by Mingara is currently offering Learn to Swim lessons FREE to new enrolments. Yep – four lessons. FREE!
We reckon every Aussie kid should grow up feeling confident, capable and safe in the water, so we love finding an offer that helps families get them there without it costing the earth.
The offer is available to new Learn to Swim enrolments until 25 October 2026 – and with summer on the way, bringing beach days, pool swims and hours spent in and around the water, now’s a pretty great time to get those babies, tots and kids swimming confidently before summer hits.
And the free lessons aren't the only reason we think local families should take a look at One by Mingara. We've featured their Learn to Swim program before and there is a lot to love about it – from lessons seven days a week to their brilliant aquatic facilities, plus a gym, creche and cafe all at the same venue.

Why We Rate Learn to Swim at One by Mingara
There’s a lot to like here – particularly if you’re trying to squeeze swimming lessons into an already busy family week.
Here’s why One by Mingara gets a big tick from us:
- Lessons run seven days a week, including mornings, after school and weekends, so there’s a good chance you’ll find something that works around daycare, school and everything else.
- Kids can start from six months old, with classes for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and school-aged kids, right through to Mini Squad.
- Their aquatic facilities are excellent, with a heated 50m lap pool, indoor 8-lane Olympic pool, leisure pool with a lazy river, hydrotherapy pool and babies’ aqua play area.
- It’s not just a pool. There’s a gym, creche and cafe here too, so you can fit in your own workout, grab a coffee or have lunch while you’re there. One stop, multiple jobs ticked off – we love that for busy parents.
- The pool is heated and indoors, so kids can swim happily year-round.
- They run school holiday swimming programs.
Swimming Lessons from Babies Through to Mini Squad
One by Mingara’s Learn to Swim classes are held in their brilliant aquatic facility, which has a heated 50m lap pool, leisure pool (with a lazy river), hydrotherapy pool and babies’ aqua play area – perfect for comfortable, confidence-building progression.
Whether your child is blowing their first bubbles or refining freestyle, in One by Mingara’s Learn to Swim program they’ll feel supported and encouraged, and no doubt build a lifelong love of swimming.
The Learn to Swim pathway begins with Babies (6 months–2.5 years) and a parent in the water, focusing on floating, bubbles and wall push-offs. Then come the pre-school stages where they build on that confidence and increase the safety messages with entries/exits, roll-to-breathe and kicks with equipment. As skills grow, kids will progress to “rainbow arms”, breaststroke, butterfly kicks, treading water, 25m swims and rhythmic breathing (hello, pace clock!). Confident kids then glide into Mini Squad to polish starts/finishes, build stamina and work on their carnival tactics.
