Through the Youth Week Grants the Tasmanian Government aims to:

SurfGroms programs cater to groms between the ages of 5-12 years old, nationally.

Whilst the younger surfers and paddlers are still developing fundamental movements such as balance, agility and coordination; the older kids are far more developed both mentally and physically, requiring a different approach when learning new skills.

In order to successfully engage such a broad audience, SurfGroms has been developed with 2 distinct age categories and 5 separate skill levels:

• MiniGroms (5-8 years old)
• SuperGroms (9-12 years old)

Although both categories work towards the same skill levels and objectives, a different learning approach will be taken for MiniGroms and SuperGroms.

You will receive your new SurfGroms hooded towel at your first lesson. To ensure it arrives on time please register a few weeks before the program commences, when possible. Your hooded towel will be delivered directly to your surf school within a reasonable timeframe. Rip Curl rash shirts will be provided to use during lessons, along with Bugs Softboards.

SurfGroms Programs are delivered in all three regions in Tassie, so visit the SurfGroms website to find your closest location and enrol in a program for the summer school holidays! 

The program is perfect for primary school groups and can be delivered with sporting schools funding.

Swimming is one of Australia's most popular sports - as well as being awesome fun, swimming is a great way to make new friends, keep fit and learn exciting new skills.

Currently there are over 75,000 registered swimmers in Australia, so be a part of Australia's premier olympic sport and get involved today!

Joining a swimming club can teach young people important life skills like water safety, commitment, time management, leading a healthy lifestyle, social skills and plenty more. A swimming club provides a fun and safe social environment for swimmers and their parents.

Swimming Tasmania has recently setup a Come & Try Club, which will allow One Month Trial Memberships (previously Come & Try Membership option) to become available.
