YOUR BLUE FIN JOURNEY STARTS HERE
A simple start to confident swimming.
Create your family profile, let us help with the right level, then choose a class that works for you.
- THREE STEPS TO GET STARTED
From enquiry to the pool.
You do not need to know your child’s level before beginning. That is where our team can help.
01 · REGISTER
Create a family profile
Register in the Blue Fin Client Portal and add the details for the swimmer you would like to enrol.
02 · CONNECT
Tell us about your swimmer
Email Maidie or send an enquiry with their age, experience and water confidence so we can help assign the appropriate level.
03 · BOOK
Find an available class
Once the level is confirmed, explore current vacancies and choose a class time that suits your family.
- PREPARE AT YOUR OWN PACE
A confident start begins before the first lesson.
Our downloadable resources help families understand Blue Fin and give children a gentle preview of what their swimming day will look like.

Joining Blue Fin FAQ
Answers to the questions families commonly ask before their first lesson.
How do I check current class availability?
You can view current vacancies through the Find a Class link. Because the right class also depends on your swimmer’s level, we recommend creating a family profile and speaking with our team before booking.
What happens after I create a family profile?
Email Maidie or send us an enquiry with your child’s age, experience and water confidence. We’ll help assign the most appropriate level so you can choose a suitable available class.
What is the Blue Fin pool like?
Blue Fin has a purpose-built 10 x 5 metre indoor MagnaPool heated to approximately 33 degrees year-round, creating a comfortable environment for young swimmers and families.
How long are swimming lessons?
Learn-to-swim classes are 30 minutes long. The team will confirm your class time and arrival guidance when your booking is arranged.
Are lessons booked by the term?
Yes. Blue Fin runs four 12-week terms each year, and lessons are booked and paid for by the term to hold your child’s place in the class.
What happens if we miss a lesson?
Families can mark a swimmer absent through the online portal and may book make-up lessons in line with Blue Fin’s current make-up policy and availability.
What facilities are available at the centre?
The Port Melbourne centre includes showers, change tables, change cubicles, family seating, accessible toilets, ramp access to the pool deck and a staffed reception.
