The “Hardwick” family staff now spans two generations of swimming teaching experience. Our accreditation with Swim Australia ensures we are equipped with the latest developments in swimming teaching.

Our programme includes six different levels of classes from water-confidence through to advanced stroke correction. Adults are also catered for.

Learning to swim correctly is an essential part of every child’s education. Children who cannot swim are put in danger with the vast expanses of water surrounding us and, in addition, forfeit all the fun activities swimming would enable them to enjoy.

It is our philosophy at Maroubra Swimming School that if a child is happy in their environment they will be more enthusiastic to learn. We are renowned for our patient and caring approach to our teaching. The best possible progress is ensured by our very small class numbers—maximum 3 pupils per teacher in beginners’ lessons.

To reinforce our positive approach, certificates of merit are awarded to encourage children to achieve their best.

Our aim is to teach correct breathing and co-ordination and provide the necessary knowledge and understanding of swimming to do so.

Our lessons are structured to maximum efficiency. We are a private teaching school and do not have the distraction of public swimmers. Warm water is essential to relax frightened children and enable them to learn to swim—our pool is heated to 33 °C. Parents are requested to stay and watch their children’s progress from our viewing room.

Swimming is the most beneficial form of exercise. It increases lung capacity in asthmatics, improves co-ordination and concentration, tones muscles and builds self-esteem. Our system of payment is unique in that we DO make allowances for illness. Please ask for our information sheet for full details.

Payment methods accepted are by cash or cheque only. Potential customers are very welcome to observe our lessons before booking.
