We offer:

small class sizes
free swimming before and after lessons
plenty of free parking
discounts for families.

We can instruct swimmers of any age and ability, from 6-month-old babies to adults.

Why choose our Learn to Swim classes?

We really care about teaching water safety. All our students are taught key water safety skills first, then progress to mastering swimming skills.
All our instructors are AUSTSWIM qualified.
As a community facility, we are more affordable than many private providers, and we never compromise on quality.

Our facility accommodates family members of all ages. We have a shallower, warmer learn to swim pool and a bigger pool for deep water confidence and greater distance.

If your child is a bit stuck on an element of their swimming, by coming every day for five days they'll normally crack it. Conquer that learning to breathe, breaststroke, or butterfly!

Group fitness classes

Welcome back to Group Fitness at Alert Level 1!

Please use the COVID-19 tracer app to scan in to our group fitness studio/rooms.

There's no need to book classes anymore.

Play your role to keep everyone safe and healthy! Good hygiene is something we can all (and should) practice - here's a few friendly reminders of the basics:

Bring your water bottle and towel - No towel = No workout!
Bring your mat to any floor-based classes (e.g. yoga, Oxycore, Abs, etc)
Cover your coughs and sneezes (into your elbow or with tissues and dispose of these into the bin immediately)
Wash your hands frequently
Wipe equipment you have used - while our staff clean regularly, we need your help too (we have wipes and spray for you to use)
Shower before you swim or jump into an aqua class (helps us keep our pools clean)
And, stay home if you are unwell - play it safe!
