Col Jones Swim Tempe

★★★★★5.0

From the initial phone call through to several lessons later, I have been impressed with the organisation, professionalism and friendliness. And my daughter is actually learning to swim. Some quick pros: 1. The kids are graded before they start so you’re not paying for unnecessary lessons 2. You receive a fun map with stickers after your first lesson which doubles as a grading chart so kids can map their progress 3. There’s ample seating for parents to sit and watch both pool side as well as upstairs in a glass viewing room if you don’t like the humidity or chlorine smell 4. The classes are smaller than other schools. Currently there are 4 kids in my kids class so instead of getting only 3-4 minutes of actively learning they get about 7-8. Doesn’t sound like much, but it’s because other bigger classes mean every child is waiting longer in between each of their ‘gos’ or laps with the teacher 5. There’s a lovely big rock face jutting out one side of the swim area which makes you feel a little closer to nature 6. There’s a cafe on site for coffee and snacks Cons: The only con is the lack of parking but a quick 5 minute walk from surrounding side streets put you there easily enough

My child has been swimming here for three years. I really like this place. The coaches are all professional and responsible. Our friends' children also swim here. It's very convenient and flexible to ask for leave and make up classes here, and there are many class times to choose from.

I've been sending my kids to Col Jones for 2 years now and their swimming program is next level. They strike a terrific balance between progression that's bite sized for the kids to feel rewarded coupled with amazing caring teachers and staff. Highly recommend them

Col Jones has been far and away the best swim school. They provide a clear structured program that allows your child to progress through each stage, learning specific skills that develop all strokes. All the staff, reception and instructors are courteous, friendly and helpful. They genuinely aim to see your child excel and advance. I recommend them highly.

Our daughter does swim lessons at Col Jones twice a week and she LOVES it. The staff are so inspiring for her, and everyone is so friendly and super organised. 100% recommend their excellent learn-to-swim program.
