Lovely staff, great facilities, can get really busy...and parking can be a little bit of an issue on some days.but most enjoyable on weekdays when it is not so crowded

1st lesson in and it's cleaner and more swimming focused then where we went previously. Very happy.

The teachers at Carlile Lane Cove have been nothing but AMAZING. My little girl had a hard time adjusting from swimming with me to going in by herself. Teacher Tash was unremarkable at helping my little girl to calm down, feel safe and swim on her own. I felt at ease knowing there was teaches able to help between the classes for one on one care. I could not fault any of the service we have received at Carlile. It is such a great place to make parents and kids feel welcome with a great swimming program.

We switched from another franchise a few months ago and really enjoy this location. The facilities are much bigger with several change rooms. It does get very crowded on the weekends so kids might not get as much attention from the instructors as they would on a weekday but we do appreciate the “monitor” staff who walk throughout the centre and help out where they can to discuss new approaches or your kids progress. Special call-out to Hamish and Lulu :)

My son has been swimming with Carlile since he was 3 months old and absolutely loves it. The facility is always kept to the cleanest standards. The change facilities are great - lovely warm showers, family change rooms and a nice big change area for the babies! The water is kept at a super warm temperature for the kiddies and if the parents aren’t keen on sitting poolside there is a lovely air conditioned viewing room. All of the teachers are very nurturing and passionate about their job. Highly recommend anyone looking for a swim school for their children to try it out and experience it for yourself.
