Independent Reviews

My daughter is a highly energetic 3 year old that went from not wanting to wear her goggles, not listening sometimes refusing to go in the pool to an absolute superstar thanks to Tammy the super coach. She’s fun, engaging and so patient. I couldn’t be happier with my daughters progress, thank you so much!

UPDATE - April 2025: Special shout out to my child's instructors Evelyn and Natalie 👏🏽 Evelyn has a wonderful way with kids – her warm and encouraging manner really clicks with my child. She strikes a great balance between keeping things fun and making sure the environment feels secure. My child is always excited for lessons and has come a long way in developing her swimming skills. Original review from September 2024: I can’t say enough good things about the swim school - friendly staff, great clean facilities, excellent dedicated instructors, and easy car park. Special shout out to my child's instructor Tilly! My 5-year-old has shown incredible progress in both confidence and comfort in the water, all thanks to Tilly’s amazing teaching style. Her stern yet friendly approach has really worked well – it’s clear that she has a deep understanding of how to motivate young children while maintaining a fun and safe environment. My child looks forward to every lesson and has made good progress in her swimming skills. Highly recommend Carlile Swimming 🙌🏼👏🏼

Parking on site (Lane Cove West) has been a consistent challenge particularly for a site with no alternative public transport reach on Sundays. Would appreciate better capacity planning to solve for this pain point.

Very good centre, better than the other pools that my daughter swim before, and the coach Tily does an excellent job teaching my daughter swimming! She is very nice and patient to the children!

We had a great time at this place! The teachers are absolutely fantastic—big shout out to Tash and Jack, our wonderful instructors. The reception staff are super helpful, especially Jackie and Liv, who assist us with all our admin queries and patiently guide us through the app. The supervisors keep a close eye on the kids' progress and let us parents know when they’re ready to move up to the next level. A big bonus for us is the free carpark; being in the industrial area, there’s plenty of space available! 🥰

Strongly recommend! Our family has tried out more than a few swimming schools for our little guys. This one is by faaaar the best. Super friendly and welcoming staff, easily accessible, and limited class sizes provide a comfortable environment even for the youngest children learning to swim.
