Carlile Swimming will reopen for lessons on October 25. This date aligns with children returning to school, and allows us to ensure when we do reopen we have taken every step necessary to do so safely. 

The government has mandated that staff, customers (over 16) and carers must be fully vaccinated or legally exempt and show their status upon entry. The government has also mandated masks and limits on numbers within the facility and we will have additional COVID-19 protocols in place. See more here.

If you want a fun, safe, caring environment where your child will learn to swim well and love the water, then welcome to Carlile Swimming. Teaching swimming for 75 years, Carlile pioneered baby swimming lessons in Australia and opened Sydney’s first indoor learn to swim school.

WHY CARLILE SWIMMING

This family business is one of the world’s leading swim schools

World Class Teachers

Trained beyond the industry standard, supported by Supervisors ensuring high quality lessons, in a system proven to deliver outstanding results.

Award Winning Program

Building the skills to help children confidently progress, the Carlile system is at the cutting edge of learn to swim.

Warm, Safe, Custom Built Pools

Babies love the warm water and our depths, lengths, ledges and platforms which support confident learning. World’s best practice technology ensures hygiene.

Family Values

We love children and watching them become kids who love to swim. Even better is seeing former students bringing their kids or grandkids to Carlile.

No Floaties

If your child accidentally falls into a pool, chances are they will not be wearing floaties. They give a false sense of security and make learning to swim correctly more difficult.

Regular Feedback

We constantly monitor and address your child’s progress and provide regular feedback. Our Parent Portal also has videos of classes, so you know what we are working on.
