Ryde
Carlile Swimming has a long and recognised history of excellence. Under the guidance of our highly qualified experts, and in pools designed to bring out their best, your kids will learn to swim well.
Opened in 1962, our pool at Cross Street was the first indoor learn to swim school in Sydney. The swim school has since been upgraded extensively and offers classes for Waterbabies, Learn to Swim (Preschool and School Age) and Stroke Development up to Kingfish level.
Our Superfish, Teen Squad and Competitive Squads are conducted just around the corner at the Ryde Aquatic Centre.
Our Ryde swim schools are an easy commute from the Gladesville, Ryde, Macquarie Park and Rhodes areas.

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 or around water.

Some Stroke Development classes and Squads classes are held at nearby Ryde Aquatic Centre.
For refining technique
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.
