Our Program

Carlile Swimming provides aquatic education programs for children from 3 months old to squad swimming including adult learn to swim. Our programs are the culmination of over 60 years of experience, research and innovation and this ensures a consistent, child centred and professional experience in accordance with the Carlile Teaching Philosophy

The Carlile Steps to Success has been developed to incorporate a series of graded class levels that enable children to develop and practice key techniques and skills. This stepwise approach ensures children learn with others at a similar level and progress as strokes and skills are completed. Our Supervisors are continually assessing children to ensure they are in the appropriate level.

Our highly regarded teacher training and recruitment program ensures excellent teacher standards and this, coupled with our spare teachers and on deck Supervisors delivers an outstanding learning environment for children. Learn more about Our People.

Our programs operate at different times of the day. Pre-school levels for those children not yet at primary school operate in the morning session (between 8-30am and 12-30 pm). School Age levels operate in the afternoon session (3-30pm and 6-00pm). Families with children in different levels may prefer to attend our weekend sessions as these offer the convenience of concurrent session times for most of our program levels. Times may vary slightly at each Location.

Classes operate on a continuous monthly program (not School Term based) with the majority of children swimming once a week until reaching higher levels. Additional weekly classes are available as well as intensive SWIMVAC programs during School Holidays. The ongoing monthly swim program aligns with our philosophy of continuous learning. Learn more about our Philosophy.

Classes are paid for monthly in advance via Direct Debit from bank account or credit card. There is no contract and we absorb the financial institution's processing fee. The continuous monthly program ensures customers have certainty regarding their booking with the flexibility to advise any changes up to the last business day of the preceding month.
