Trained beyond the industry standard, supported by Supervisors ensuring high quality lessons, in a system proven to deliver outstanding results.
Building the skills to help children confidently progress, the Carlile system is at the cutting edge of learn to swim.
Babies 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 become kids who love to swim. Even better is seeing former students bringing their kids or grandkids to Carlile.
If your child accidentally falls into a pool, chances are they will not be wearing floaties. They give a false sense of security and make learning to swim correctly more difficult.
We constantly monitor and address your child’s progress and provide regular feedback. Our Parent Portal also has videos of classes, so you know what we are working on.

Update: Carlile management has followed up the matter and extended their apology about the situation happening on the first day of the holiday camp. They have taken actions to elevate the experience, instructors started to use 2 lanes of the pool that significantly improve the experience for the class so I decided to edit my review and rating and change it to 4 star review. I still believe they need to train their front desk staff on customer service that's why my star rating will not be "5". ‐------------------------------------------------------------------------- I recently enrolled my 9-year-old daughter in the summer holiday camp at Carlile Lane Cove West, where we've been loyal customers. However, our experience was disappointing. The promised 45-minute daily classes turned out to be overcrowded with 7 other kids in a half lane, hindering the learning environment. Despite expressing concerns and witnessing kids bumping into each other, the reception insisted it was normal for King Fish classes to have 7-8 kids. When I requested to cancel the remaining 4 days, I was denied a refund, and even the manager couldn't acknowledge our long-standing patronage. In my six years with Carlile, such overcrowding has never been the norm. I caution anyone considering the summer camp, as our class was overloaded.
My sons have learned to swim really well with a strong focus on getting the basics right before moving them up.
