Carlile is renowned for swimmers with great technique. Expert coaches work with your child to help develop the skills they need to progress and swim efficiently. Swimming and Stroke Development Classes are run over three, ability-based levels, each building on the one before.
Marlin
Barracuda
Shark
Refining their technique and introducing bilateral breathing, along with freestyle starts and turns.
While the early stages have already started, now it’s time to improve technique.
Breaststroke is introduced and refined across the three levels, allowing swimmers to develop the right form.
From the initial introduction of butterfly kick, the stroke is developed. Your child will learn one of the most challenging strokes.
Swimmers start to put all four strokes together and learn turns for each transition.
Swimmers begin to use the pace clock, grasp circle swimming and learn the basics of being in a squad.
Carlile coaches know how to build the skills necessary to develop children from Learn to Swim, to swimming with great technique.
Nurturing each individual in a system expertly designed to build the skills from one level to the next, so swimmers progress happily and confidently.
Children love the warm water and our depths, lengths, ledges and platforms which support confident learning. World’s best practice technology ensures hygiene.
We love children and watching them progress. They’ll develop strokes which will help them tackle whichever water sport they choose.
We constantly monitor and address your child’s progress and provide regular feedback, so you know what we are working on.
The better your technique, the longer you can swim without tiring. Good technique can save a life.
Our newest pool opening soon Caringbah. The Sutherland Shire’s most advanced swimming teaching pool.

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 🙌🏼👏🏼
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!
