A few words from our customers...
Feel so thankful to have been recommended to Super Fish Sunnybank through a friend. We signed up for the free baby lessons from 12 weeks and haven't looked back. Bub is over a year old and loves the water because of these weekly lessons. Our beautiful teachers Natasha, Gina, Tracey and Ursala have been amazing and given us the best experience from day 1. They all genuinely love the kids and this translates into their teaching. The pool and change rooms are always clean and tidy. Would highly recommend Super Fish Sunnybank to anyoneread more

My daughter has attended this facility since she was barely 5 months old. (now 9 months old) To see her progression and confidence grow has been amazing. She loves her class, her teacher and the swims there outside formal classes. The facilities are excellent including ample change tables and baby wipes!

My daughter has been swimming at Superfish Pacific Pines for the past 3 years. When she began swimming at 4 years of age, she wouldn't even put her face in the water! It is only due to the positive encouragement, dedication and commitment of her amazing coaches - Miss Tayla (currently) and Miss Kerryn (previous swim coach) who in particular have helped her face her fears and learn to swim! She now loves swimming and hopes that one day soon she will be able to join squad. 🙂 I highly recommend Superfish to anyone!read more

My daughter has been swimming at Superfish Pacific Pines for over 4 years. The team at Superfish are nothing short of amazing. When our 6yo daughter was diagnosed with Leukaemia 4 years ago they were very supportive and did everything they could to work with us in getting her back into the water during and after her treatment, working with us to assure she didn’t miss out and still progressed. Our daughter loves swimming with all of the amazing teachers. The only thing she wanted to do when she got her central line out was to get back to swimming lessons so that we did. We would definitely highly recommend the team at Superfish to absolutely everyone.read more

We have been taking our boys to Superfish Sunnybank since they were four months old. Eight years on the swim school has long been an enjoyable routine every week ( even the six o’clock early starts now for swim squad)The quality of the swim program and professionalism of the centre has been exceptional.The learn to swim program has not only been enjoyable but life saving as the oldest fell in our pool (trying to grab a beech ball and you don’t necessarily hear the splash) at fourteen months old and immediately rolled to float on his back. The education gained is far more than just high level swimming competency. The discipline learned in classes, self confidence and esteem gained combined with the lung development of the kids radiates throughout their other sporting, social and academic activities. Well done and thank you Superfish 👍read more

My son has been swimming at Superfish Swim School Sunnybank for the last 5 years. Started as a baby and progressed through the program to where he is a competent little swimmer. Thanks to the amazing instructors I don’t have to worry when he goes into a pool, as I know he can swim safely and look after himself. Looking forward to starting lessons with our 3 month old baby in the coming weeks. There is now one else who I trust we teaching my children how to swim.read more

Within 2.5 months of coaching at Superfish Sunnybank she can feel confidence swimming those styles now. Thank you staffs at Superfish Sunnybank.read more

We love Superfish Swim School Pacific Pines! Our little boy has been swimming here since he was 3 months old and is now a confident and extremely happy two year old in the pool! There is a beautiful family feel from when you walk in and all staff members are extremely helpful and friendly. I love how encouraging the swim instructors are and also other parents within the classes. Our swimming teacher Kerryn is absolutely amazing and she is great at pushing kids to do their best in a nurturing way! Our little boy gets so excited to swim as soon as he sees her!! Nicola in the cafe is one of a kind!!! She is most helpful and makes a delicious coffee and baked goods! We now can’t leave without banana bread and prices are really good!! Overall, we are more than happy to call Superfish our swim school!!read more

Thank you again for all that you do. You truly deliver beyond expectations!read more

Great swim school, highly recommend. My 10 yr old son had done lessons since he was 3 yrs old with another school & his technique was so poor he almost didn't pass his preliminary swim for surf club nippers. We joined Superfish and within a yr he has made significant progress. I would never have thought he'd be able to achieve so much in such a short space of time. Think all the staff are great.read more

My children started their learn to swimJourney 2 and a half years ago at the pacific pines superfish with no water safety skills at all. They are now confident, happy and safe swimmers who are excelling in their classes. The facilities are lovely and staff work really hard to help the children master the skills they need! My kids love it when Mr Andrew visits and from a parents perspective it is wonderful to see him acknowledging them and their swimming! It truly does feel like a second family for us with many strong relationships formed! I would highly recommend Superfish!read more
