ARV invites Expressions of Interest to administer the VICSWIM Summer Kidz Program
Aquatics and Recreation Victoria is looking to appoint a suitable contractor to administer the VICSWIM Summer Kidz Program in partnership with ARV in 2022 and 2023.
Aquatics and Recreation Victoria (ARV) has been the provider of the VICSWIM Summer Kidz program since 1976.
ARV has been successful in receiving funding from the Victorian Government to provide the VICSWIM Summer Kidz program in 2022 and 2023.
The VICSWIM Summer Kidz program provides children between the ages of four and 12 with opportunities to develop a range of skills and positive experiences in relation to water safety, confidence and competence in the water, personal survival activities and basic aquatic emergency procedures.
The VICSWIM Summer Kidz program is an intensive learn to swim and water safety program held over the first three weeks of January, with each week of the program consisting of five consecutive 30-minute lessons, Monday-Friday.
VICSWIM is a low-cost program. The Victorian Government has approved the fees for the 2022 VICSWIM Summer Kidz program to be $35 per child in 2022. VICSWIM’s low cost is vital to ensure formal swimming lessons are accessible, especially to families who could not otherwise afford the cost of commercial learn to swim programs.
In 2021 the ARV VICSWIM Program was conducted in 167 Victorian venues, attracted 16,516 enrolments, provided 80,705 swimming and water safety lessons and employed 345 staff to administer and deliver the program. VICSWIM enrolments have grown from 9,270 in 2016 to 16,516 in 2021 -- an increase of 74% over the last five years.
Aquatics & Recreation Victoria (ARV) is looking to appoint a suitable contractor to administer the VICSWIM Summer Kidz Program in partnership with ARV in 2022 and 2023.
Organisations interested in administering the VICSWIM Summer Kidz Program in partnership with ARV in 2022 and 2023 are asked to submit documents and information on or before Sunday 1st August 2021.
