Swim X Program at Dandenong Oasis

We’re excited to introduce Swim X, a transition program designed to support young Participants who are ready to take the next step in their swimming journey,  

Delivered in partnership with the Oasis Otters Swim Club, Swim X provides selected Learn to Swim participants with the opportunity to further develop their technique, stamina and confidence in a supportive squad-style environment. 

Program Details

Location: Dandenong Oasis

Time: 6.30pm – 7.15pm

Commencing: Monday 13 July 2026

Please note: Sessions will not run on public holidays or during Learn to Swim program breaks.

Who is Swim X for?

Swim X is designed for selected participants who:  

• Are currently enrolled in our Learn to Swim program  

• Are generally in Level 5 (Or Level 6)  

• Are under the age of 13 years of age  

• Demonstrate strong swimming ability, commitment and enthusiasm 

Participants cannot directly enrol into Swim X. Invitations to attend a trial session will be provided by a Deck Supervisor.  

How the Program Works

Selected participants will first attend a trial session where they will be assessed by an Oasis Otters representative.  

The assessment will consider:  

• Stroke development and technique  

• Confidence in the water  

• Willingness to learn and improve  

• Overall readiness for squad-style training  

Following the assessment:  

If the swimmer is not quite ready

• Feedback will be provided to the participant’s current Learn to Swim teacher  

• Participant’s may be invited to trial again in the future once further development has occurred  

If the swimmer is successful

• Participants will be enrolled into the Swim X program for up to six months  

• Sessions will focus on stroke refinement, technique development, stamina and distance training  

• Detailed feedback will continue to be shared with Learn to Swim teachers to support ongoing progression 

Participants will remain enrolled in both their regular Learn to Swim class and Swim X sessions during the program period.  

Participants may then progress into the Oasis Otters Swim Club once they have completed the required level criteria.
