If you are looking for swimming for kids in Penrith and Nepean, we have ten swim schools, pools and aquatic venues listed across seven suburbs. We have no swimming events or one-off classes listed right now, so this guide covers the schools and venues.

We do not list prices, class times, age ranges or waiting lists, so use this as a shortlist and then contact each place directly.

Swim schools and learn-to-swim

These venues are named as swim schools or learn-to-swim programs:

  • Ripples NSW: Learn to Swim in Penrith
  • World of Swimming in Penrith
  • Jump! Swim Schools in Glenmore Park
  • Dive In Swimming Academy in Jamisontown
  • Eva Bory's Swim School in Emu Plains
  • Shaw Swim Werrington County in Werrington
  • Aquabliss Werrington in Werrington

Penrith has the most choice, with Glenmore Park, Jamisontown, Emu Plains and Werrington each giving you options closer to home depending on where you live.

Pools and aquatic centres

Penrith Swimming Centre and Nepean Aquatic Centre in Cambridge Park are listed as public venues. Penrith Whitewater Stadium in Cranebrook is also listed. We do not know what each one offers for children, so ask about lessons, family swim times and any age rules.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What age can my child start, and is there a class for their level?
  • How big are the classes?
  • Is there a trial lesson or a waiting list?
  • Do lessons run in term time only, or all year?
  • What does it cost, and how do I pay?

Choosing one

Start with the closest place to home or school, because regular lessons are easier when the drive is short. If you are new to swimming lessons, ask the school how they place beginners. If your child already swims, ask how they assess their level.

For the latest details, check each organiser's own page, and come back as we add more swimming options across Penrith and Nepean.
