After two years of swimming lessons, today I cancelled my two children's memberships and have walked away frustrated and disappointed with Kings Swim Centre, Macarthur Square.

The facilities are great but the one thing which will always let Kings Swim School, Macarthur Square down is the continuous/excessive changes of instructors/ teachers.

In the last six months alone my son has had FIVE teacher changes which is detrimental for a beginner swimmer as they gain trust in one teacher, and then another is thrusted upon them.

Today, after seeing my 5 year old son sitting on the pool step crying because he had yet another teacher change, really made me realise that Kings Swim School, Macarthur Square are letting down the kids/students who they pride themselves of trying to teach.

Approximate cost: $78

I love that the classes are small with only 3 or 4 kids per class usually. The teaching is consistent through all instructors which is fantastic for my autistic son who relies heavily on routine. Not the cheapest place for lessons, but definitely the best.

My son has been at Kings Swim Centre for 2 years, he enjoys his weekly swimming lesson. The staff are friendly and helpful.

If your child is tall ( as mine is) you might be better off finding a school that has deeper pools, my son can touch the bottom in the first two pools, and I think this is preventing him from really trying his strokes.

The classes are "small" so its hard to get a time that suits working parents.

The business also charges an admin fee to pay via EFT, even though this is the only payment option offered.

Approximate cost: $75 per month
