Vacswim is an SA Government supported initiative that provides children (aged 3 - 12 years) with opportunities to develop a range of skills and positive experiences in the areas of water safety.

VACSWIM is South Australia’s most renowned summer holiday program, giving kids confidence in and around the water. Programs cater for children aged 3 to 12 years and take place during the December and January summer school holidays.

Delivered as 5-day blocks, it is a water safety program that aims to teach children vital safety and survival techniques that could save lives this summer. Activities include basic first aid, safe water entry and exit, surf and sun safety, and what to do if a child finds themselves in trouble.
