Hawthorn Swimming Clinic

My son has been swimming here for a number of years - started when he was a baby right through to 5 years. The lessons are well structured and cater for each child's ability. We have had some wonderful teachers (Lisa/Roz/Michelle); not only do they keep the little ones entertained, they teach them all the basics of water safety as well as teaching them to swim! I agree with the other reviewers that the change rooms are small but hopefully that will change once the renovations are up and running. A very friendly and family focused atmosphere.

Pool temp is pretty warm, which is great for some, but I prefer a bit cooler. The teachers are great. The change rooms are small, kids can't really continue to play in the pool after their lesson which is a shame as I think that helps cement the skills learnt. But payment terms are better, as it's term based, unlike other swimm schools which are monthly.

Approximate cost: $133 for 7 week term

Fantastic swimming clinic for kids of all ages. Pool temp great, teachers great. Only criticism is the change rooms are a little small for the amount of kids going through there

Approximate cost: $160 per term

Attending these swimming classes has been a wonderful experience for my son. He has made fast progress - and I really couldn't ask for more. I much prefer the atmosphere at this clinic to the other swimming school he attended. Very happy.

My son has actually learn to swim in a year. The teachers are consistent and lovely, and the staff friendly and informative. It is a pleasure to sit and watch him learn and literaly improve every week. After having been to another school where in 2 years we constantly changed teachers, who only occasionaly seemed to enjoy their job.

My daughter loves lessons at this swim clinic. They actually teach the kids to swim which funnily enough my last swim school (Richmond rec) didnt seem to do. They dont use floatation aids too much so kids ar forced to feel the water and actually learn to float themselves. My 3 year old is already dog paddling 5 or so metres and she has only been going 2 terms. I can highly recommend this school.
