Carlile Swimming Castle Cove
Carlile Swimming Castle Cove became part of the Carlile family of swim schools in 1968. This centre has quite a history, being used in 1964 by the Australian Swim Team to train for the Tokyo Olympics. Today, this centre teaches around 2000 kids to swim each week, offering classes from Waterbabies through to Stroke Development.
Carlile Castle Cove has a longstanding reputation as one of the North Shore’s premier swim schools, having taught generations of families to swim. With two, heated pools and friendly, experienced teachers, it’s easy to see why so many local families choose Carlile Castle Cove for their children’s swimming lessons.
We welcome you to pop in anytime and chat to our friendly customer care team about our swim programs and to book your child in for an assessment. We hope to see you at Carlile Castle Cove soon.

Get ready to get wet! Great for bonding with your bub, these lessons are held with a parent or carer present in the pool. Our warm water and air temperature keep bubs and parents happy and comfortable.
Waterbabies classes encourage children to become comfortable submerging and floating on their backs. Specially adapted games, songs and routines are used to foster confidence and familiarity. Though the classes are lots of fun every lesson is teaching children to be safer in, on and around water.

Our Stroke Development Program has 3 ability-based levels, with our friendly staff determining the most appropriate level for your child. The program is designed to develop correct technique across all four strokes, and increase endurance.
After completing the Stroke Development program, children will be proficient in backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle, competitive dives and turns, and have a basic understanding of swimming rules and principles. A child who is confident, proficient and has endurance is a child less likely to panic if they find themselves in a difficult situation.
