SUPER SPECIAL OFFERS
A few words from our customers...
Shout out to Lauryn for your help on Saturday’s, when I was trying to complete distances for the charity swims!
Thanks team!
- user friendly app to view upcoming classes and book makeups.
- excellent teachers who are enthusiastic and explain things clearly. We have had Janine, Sarah, Lauren, Raven, Charlize - all are phenomenal teachers.
- curriculum is repetitive enough that the kids can become familiar with the skills/songs etc, but with some variation week to week to ensure all skills are frequently practised.
- opportunity for extension/ differentiation. My son swims twice a week and both of his teachers mentioned within 2 weeks of each other that he would be a good candidate for the advanced class, so he was assessed and now has the opportunity to work on more advanced skills at quite a young age.
- facilities are clean and we like to hang out in the fenced outdoor play area after class.
my other grandson was watching who had a slight fear of the water was so impressed he said he feels like he could do it also and would like to get back into the water after a two year break.
well done super fish, so far on just one lesson i know this is a safe environment that my grandsons will safely learn to swim,
highly recommend
Always helpful and accomodating! Such great progress in a short time for both my kids! If I could give 6 stars I would !!
She is very good at teaching.
She can know what is wrong with me.
She pays attention to every learner.
I am lucky to have such an professional teacher.
Thank you.
Jeremy is a fantastic swim instructor for kids. Very happy with how my daughter loves swimming now.
Carol is such a high energy and welcoming person. She will always welcome you with a big smile.
The classes are not crowded, which makes the experience even more personal.
Highly recommend
Our swim teacher Miss Kerryn is incredible with the kids and also manages the centre. We travel over an hour each way for swim lessons and it’s worth the time and money.
Highly recommend.
They're really making sure your child learns how to swim properly and safely while accommodating nicely for individual development.
Carol is fab with our big girl. Ca
Can't recommend highly enough.
The centre is also very clean, well organised and worth every dollar. Highly recommend Superfish Swim School!!!
Thank you so much!!!
I don’t know how to swim myself but so happy my son will be a great swimmer!
Highly recommended.
swim coaches ever. I’ve never been so happy & excited for my boy. He loves swimming & is absolutely smitten with teacher Janine, who is his one on one teacher too.
Everyone at this establishment is BEAUTIFUL. Everyone here is Amazing at what they do. Thank you 🙏
My baby girl loves going each week, gives big smiles to Miss Grace and Miss Amy..
She is thriving and really misses swimming when we cant make it.. thank you for making us so welcome..
Water temperature is consistently nice and warm, and more importantly heating is nice on the poolside too.
There are change tables for nappies and swimsuits changing (with heater available), highchairs on poolside and in changing room.
Both coach and admin staff are nice and friendly.
Also the area reserved for lessons is spacious. It is not noisy either as there aren't many classes happening at the same time.
Open to the public and they have adult squads as well as learn to swim and Junior/Senior squads. The staff are super friendly and caring and they follow protocol during COVID.
It's always clean and tidy and highly recommended.
I would call before going though, just to check time and prices.
Plenty of parking!
My child could swim by the time he was 18 months old. He could fall in and swim back unassisted, There is no better feeling than knowing that my 1.5year old was water safe. All thanks to the amazing team at superfish.
Turn up on time each week to your lesson, stay consistent & you’ll be amazed with the results.
By far the best part of Superfish is Ms Cath. My daughter has adored her from the moment she had her first class. She has always been so caring, loving and supportive. Harper has blossomed so much because she trust Cath so much. Harper is so confident thanks to Cath. Cath will push Harper when she needs it. We are so grateful for her guidance and for shaping Harper. Cath is 100% the best swimming teacher, not just our eyes but my daughter's too.
I highly recommend Superfish to anyone. It was the best decision we made in October 2020.
I look forward to our next visit as everybody makes you feel welcome.
Why Superfish Swim Schools are so different?
Drowning Prevention Program vs Conventional Learn to Swim Classes? One Word: SURVIVAL!
At Superfish, we focus on independent survival skills first – not endless “fun” lessons filled with songs and games. Our Drowning Prevention Program teaches babies and young children the vital skills they need to survive in water – from day one.
Traditional Learn to Swim classes often delay this, putting kids at risk and wasting time and money. Children must master independent prevention skills before moving on to stroke development.
Led by co-founder Karen Baildon, our program builds a strong foundation of aquatic safety, teaching children not just how to swim, but how to react and survive in real-life water situations.
Know what your child is learning, why they’re doing it, and how it could save their life.
Stroke Perfection vs Mini Squads?
Technique First!
Our approach to stroke development is different: instructors stay in the water to provide hands-on correction and support from Learn to Swim right through to junior squads.
We teach full-stroke mechanics – from head and body position to kicking, sculling, and streamlined movement – using short distances to focus on quality, not quantity.
Forget endless laps and unnecessary aids. Our goal is to build strong, confident swimmers through progressive, technique-driven teaching.
Regular 8-week assessments ensure every swimmer is improving and ready for the next level. At Superfish, it’s not about moving quickly – it’s about swimming effectively, correctly, and confidently.
It is VITAL that Babies and Young Children attend a Drowning Prevention Program until they have attained a high degree of INDEPENDENT Drowning Prevention Skills.
