Brookvale Lessons and Junior Squads
We are a COVID compliant swim school
All learn-to-swim lessons are held in our heated three lane 18 metre pool from Monday through to Saturday at 9B Green Street, Brookvale.
We have a flexible pool layout to accommodate the different needs of the instructor and students.
The pool is overlooked by a small poolside seated area and a comfortable viewing deck on the first floor for parents/caregivers. Here you will also find a dedicated playroom to entertain siblings who aren’t in the pool.
Class levels work on approximate ages and ability, please see program break down below.
