Wonderful program. Kids always learning lots! Babies all the way to 12 year olds. Great way to build kids confidence around water.

My daughter is very conservative when it comes to swimming, after visiting a few local swimming centres we have decided to go to Westerfold as it's a smaller swimming centre and only runs swimming lessons. She has improved so much only after 2 terms of swimming. The instructor is extremely good, always reassuring and encouraging my daughter. Now she absolutely loves going to swimming.

If you as a mum want to feel confident that your kids are safe in the water come Summer-time AND capable of getting to safety if necessary whether that be paddling and/or swimming to the edge of the pool or to shallow water then try Westerfolds. Classes focus on the SKILLS young children need to progress through defined levels, it's not just water play 80% of the time like the mainstream swimming centers seem to do. Class sizes are small so there is more 1-1 attention, there are only a handful of lessons in the pool at any one time so your children are not overwhelmed and easily distracted (like my son) by others. Another big plus for us is the same swimming teachers have been there for the past 2 years which means my son doesn't have to keep starting at square 1 and building his trust with a different teacher every term so he is progressing much faster than he did at our old swim school.

Apart from this, as a mum to 3 energetic kids under 5- my favourite part is picking up a latte and a vegan treat from the beautiful cafe on the way in. Nothing better than sipping a hot latte in silence for half an hour whilst watching my boys swim.

This centre is not too big and not too small. It's perfect for the children. Clean premises and friendly staff. We have
been using the centre for past 8 yrs and wouldn't go elsewhere. Grab a coffee at the in house cafe. And the best swimmschool co-ordinator.

My 2 children has been going to Westerfolds for swimming classes for nearly 5 years now , we absolutely love it there, staff and teachers are excellent and very professional !! The viewing window option helps seperate parents and all viewers from the actual class so the children are more focused, while you get to watch them as well as have a friendly chat without distracting classes
Highly recommended:))

My 3 kids have gone ahead in leaps & bounds since changing to Westerfolds swim school! The teachers are kind and caring and engage the kids beautifully. The facilities are good and the pool is always at a comfortable temperature.

My granddaughters had been to a few other swimming centres, none comes close to Westerfolds. The pool is always clean and bright, and its comfortable environment means kids can learn without any distractions. Instructors are learned, patient and dedicated. The reception team is always helpful and friendly. Class placement is constantly reviewed to reflect the progress of students. It is an excellent place for kids to learn swimming.

My family have been attending Westerfolds Sports Centre - Swim school for 7 years now. From the reception staff to the swimming teachers the experience is nothing but professional and positive. Added bonus of Power Plant Cafe now on site, with delicious smoothies and food. We are about to move Suburbs but will be travelling back to westfolds Sports centre to attend our regular swimming class. A true hidden gem in the suburbs!!

Westerfolds is the prefect swim school for kids. The class sizes are limited to a maximum of 4 so the swim teachers can focus on each child's strengths and weaknesses. They schedule safety week where the kids do different things like rescue each other, use life-jackets, get in a life-raft, call for "HELP", feel "seaweed' in the water, and swim with clothes on. They schedule an underwater photographer so now we have precious photos of our kids swimming underwater. The staff make the classes fun and group children with others that will help them flourish. My eldest daughter was terrified to start with, and is not confident with sports or in big or noisy environments. It didn't take long before she started thriving and was desperate to get into her bathers and get to class. Westerfolds seem to put a lot of focus on consistency in teaching staff, which is one less thing for kids without much confidence to worry about. I have 2 children, and I feel like the staff go out of their way to make sure the two swim classes are scheduled in a way that makes it easy for us. There are swim schools everywhere, but like anything it's the people that make your experience a good or a bad one. I cannot praise Westerfolds swim teachers and staff enough. I have no doubt it is a direct result of their efforts that my children are still doing and enjoying swimming.
