What is the Learn to Swim program?
The Learn to Swim program follows the guidelines of the Royal Lifesaving Society of Australia’s Swim and Survive program and is specifically designed for members and their families. All instructors hold an AustSwim qualification as a minimum and are also available for adult private lessons.
When does the Learn to Swim program run?
The program runs continuously from mid-January to mid-December each year and suspension or make-up sessions may be available for family holidays or illness. Children will receive certificates of achievement as they progress through different awards and stages.
How to enrol?
Simply complete an enrolment at reception and select a payment method. Your child can then commence right away (a 15-minute assessment may be required).
Please bring a towel, swim wear and goggles. All other gear is supplied. Children who are not yet fully toilet trained will need to wear an appropriate aqua nappy.
When and where are classes held?
Classes run from Monday to Saturday in the indoor heated pool and generally last for 30 minutes.

Great Gym facilities with plenty of classes to choose from including Yoga, Pilates, stretch and stability and various others. Indoor and outdoor pools, and tennis and squash courts. Cafe is great and a spacious lounge area.

It is extremely rare to find a club that offers a gym, exercise classes, swimming pools (inside and outside) and racquet sports. The major bonus of this club is the excellent onsite crèche which has allowed me to workout, without it, this would have been impossible as I have a toddler.

One of the best gyms in Sydney. Has so many machines, spacious gym area, best staff and a great pool to use after a long gym session.

I have never been a gym person but I’m so glad I joined. On offer is weight/cardio training with a review of your program every 6 weeks with very knowledgeable trainers.
Tricia H
The FRIENDLIEST gym I’ve ever attended! Not only are the facilities absolutely world class, but within a week of coming here, I felt like part of the furniture. Many of the members I met have been coming here for over a decade and I can understand why. I’m going to be here for life, too.
