Looking for swimming for kids in St George and Bayside? Roolu lists ten swim schools, aquatic centres and pools in the area right now, from Kogarah and Hurstville to Botany and Mascot. There are no swimming events or classes listed separately at the moment, so this guide covers the places and how to choose.
Who is listed, by suburb
The clubs below this guide link to each organiser. Here is where they are:
- Kogarah: St George Swim Academy, and Duck And Dive Baby Swim School Kogarah.
- Botany: Botany Aquatic Centre.
- Allawah: Col Jones Swim School.
- Eastgardens: Maroubra Swimming School.
- Mascot: Austgrade Swim School.
- Bexley North: Bexley Swimming Centre.
- Peakhurst: Peakhurst Swim School.
- Brighton-Le-Sands: Modsquad Swimming Lessons.
- St George: Hurstville Aquatic Centre.
Duck And Dive Baby Swim School Kogarah has baby swim in its name, so it is the first place to ask if you have a baby. We do not have ages or class details for any of the others.
Swim school or aquatic centre?
A swim school is usually built around lessons. An aquatic centre or swimming centre is a public pool that may also run lessons, and may be open for general swimming. Botany Aquatic Centre, Bexley Swimming Centre and Hurstville Aquatic Centre are in the second group. We cannot say what each one offers, so check the page.
Questions to ask first
Our listings give names and suburbs, not ages, levels or fees. It helps to ask:
- Which ages do you take, and how are classes grouped?
- Can my child have a trial or assessment first?
- What days and times do lessons run, and how long are they?
- What does a term or a single lesson cost?
- Is there a waiting list?
Choosing between them
For most families, location comes first. Weekly lessons are easier to keep up when the pool is close to home or school. After that, look at class size and how the school groups children. Ask a few schools, then pick the one that feels right for your child.
Planning the trip
Check parking and the time of day on each page. Pool visits go smoother with a bag packed the night before, including a towel and goggles if your child wears them.
Still adding more
