The huge program has had 18 volunteers involved, helping teach 140 kids in 25-minute sessions.
It includes nine qualified swim instructors, some with more than 50 years of experience.
The kids had plenty of summer fun while learning vital swimming skills.
The program organisers have expressed thanks to the Deni Swim Centre and all the volunteers for making the program possible.
The Life Saving Australia SwimVAC 2025 will also continue to run for another week next week, which includes some preschool and school age beginner classes.
These run from 11.45am to 12.15pm and 9.30am to 10.15am respectively, and open for bookings.
