Carlile Swim Aspley

We switched to AA Aspley from another local swim school as my son (5) wasn’t thriving there. He had some trouble paying attention to the teachers and complying with instructions in his old school and he wasn’t progressing. Last straw came when they started kicking him out of the pool halfway through a lesson. He’s a fab kid, just needed a different approach, which they were not willing to even talk to us about. We came to AA Aspley and what a difference. Their approach is so positive and kid friendly. They allow parents right next to the pool - even have a special stool to sit right on the water’s edge if your kid is having a hard time. They have a wonderful roving instructor who brings out toys if the kids are upset, acknowledges special progress during classes with high fives, and remembers all of the kids names. My son is thriving there and so happy. They don’t treat him like a problem child (which he isn’t). My daughter (2) is doing great there too. They also have great change facilities with special seats for the younger kids so mum can get dressed easily.

The staff are all amazing at there jobs no matter which instructor your child gets. They go above and beyond to help your child feel comfortable. Both my sons love it here and have gotten so confident. My 3yr old had never had a lesson but since being here for almost 8 weeks he can now swim. So happy to bring my boys here each week! Showers are great for the kids and lots of places to change them. The staff are always making sure the kids are safe in the water. Highly recommend this centre

My daughter has graduated after 8 years and 12-ish levels. We’ve been through almost every trainer/coach as she’s progressed and everyone has been fantastic. My daughter is a better swimmer than me and it wonderful to see her skills and confidence in the pool. Would definitely recommend Aquatic Achievers!

We have been to multiple swimming lessons conducted at swimming centres, this is the first specialist swim school that we have used and WOW! It’s such a massive difference! The classes are extremely small and the tuition is catered to each individual child’s ability. My daughter does not adapt easily to new environments or new people, so the fact that she was laughing within seconds of starting her first lesson and cannot wait to go each week is a huge testament to their operation. I honestly cannot recommend this school highly enough. Linda is an engaged manager who welcomes every family and seems to remember each child’s aptitudes and abilities at a glance and stops to update all parents weekly on progress. Miss Arshia is an extraordinary and rare person- think of your favourite primary school teacher mixed with a playschool presenter- no wonder the children adore her and love their lessons! I hope your kids are fortunate enough to have her as their teacher too!

My son has been learning to swim here for almost 2.5 years, and I highly recommend two outstanding swim teachers: Malcom and Zachary. My son made remarkable progress thanks to their guidance. However, the only issue we have is the limit of 6 make-up sessions per year. Sometimes my child is sick or we go on holiday, so we need more than 6 make-up sessions annually.
