Trinity Anglican School · White Rock, Cairns
A heated Olympic-sized pool on the TAS White Rock Campus, with Learn to Swim classes and squads for every level, from absolute beginners to National representatives.
Our pool
Located on the Trinity Anglican School White Rock Campus, the TAS Aquatic Centre features an Olympic sized swimming pool. Its versatile design allows for FINA-approved long course and short course competitions, water polo and learn to swim classes. Ramp access opens the facility to swimmers with special needs.
The facility's five pool heaters keep the water warm, even on cool winter mornings. Change rooms and bathroom facilities are on site.
The TAS Aquatic Centre has a reputation for high quality swimming lessons, and all staff continually update their skills to stay abreast of changes and trends in the swimming field.
Our programs
Lanes follow the pathway from a first lesson to State and National competition. New Learn to Swim students start with an assessment session, so we can place them in the right level.
Runs for 4 × 10 week terms (not including public holidays) and caters for children with a range of ability levels.
For children who cannot swim but are old enough to be in the water without a parent or guardian. We teach the fundamentals: correct body position on the front and back, correct breathing with head turn in Freestyle, and an introduction to dives and streamlining from the wall.
For swimmers with correct Freestyle and Backstroke who can swim short distances. Builds balance in the long-axis strokes, with attention on head turn, breathing timing and swimming on the side. Introduces Breaststroke kick and develops streamlining and standing dives.
Builds resilience and efficient technique in Freestyle and Backstroke, reinforcing timing, balance and rhythm. Introduces underwater streamlining, Dolphin kick, breakout strokes, zip drill for Freestyle and racing dives.
A mini-squad that bridges Learn to Swim and Squads. Instructors coach from in and out of the water, so swimmers get used to instruction from the pool deck. Introduces full Breaststroke and Butterfly, develops dive starts, and extends swims from 25 m to 50 m.
For more advanced swimmers who may or may not be intending to compete.
A stepping stone into competitive swimming and lifelong skills. Swimmers learn and refine all competitive strokes, turns and dives, learn to use the pace clock, and build aerobic fitness and strength in a squad environment.
Builds aerobic fitness, skills and technique in all strokes for non-competitive swimmers aged 10 and over who swim for fun and fitness.
Builds fitness, skills and technique in all strokes for junior competitive swimmers aged 10 and over who intend to compete at a Regional level, with a focus on discipline and teamwork. Dry land and gym sessions may be added for TAS Swimming Club members over 12, as determined by the Head Coach.
For swimmers mastering all strokes, advanced drills, turns and dives, and preparing to compete at State and National level. Places are offered to athletes who have chosen swimming as their main sport and show a strong work ethic. Dry land and weight gym sessions are introduced during the season.
Open to a broad range of abilities, from basic (50 m) to advanced. Mostly swimmers preparing for triathlons and masters competitions, and anyone looking to get fit is welcome. The focus is technique, efficiency and the conditioning needed for distance open water events.
