Carlile is renowned for swimmers with great technique. Expert coaches work with your child to help develop the skills they need to progress and swim efficiently. Swimming and Stroke Development Classes are run over three, ability-based levels, each building on the one before.
Marlin
Barracuda
Shark
Refining their technique and introducing bilateral breathing, along with freestyle starts and turns.
While the early stages have already started, now it’s time to improve technique.
Breaststroke is introduced and refined across the three levels, allowing swimmers to develop the right form.
From the initial introduction of butterfly kick, the stroke is developed. Your child will learn one of the most challenging strokes.
Swimmers start to put all four strokes together and learn turns for each transition.
Swimmers begin to use the pace clock, grasp circle swimming and learn the basics of being in a squad.
Carlile coaches know how to build the skills necessary to develop children from Learn to Swim, to swimming with great technique.
Nurturing each individual in a system expertly designed to build the skills from one level to the next, so swimmers progress happily and confidently.
Children love the warm water and our depths, lengths, ledges and platforms which support confident learning. World’s best practice technology ensures hygiene.
We love children and watching them progress. They’ll develop strokes which will help them tackle whichever water sport they choose.
We constantly monitor and address your child’s progress and provide regular feedback, so you know what we are working on.
The better your technique, the longer you can swim without tiring. Good technique can save a life.
Our newest pool opening soon Caringbah. The Sutherland Shire’s most advanced swimming teaching pool.

Just wanted to give the whole team at Carlile Lane Cove West a 5 star review. Our 3 children are all here now getting swimming lessons and we have already seen a significant improvement in All 3 in a short period of time. We have been to a few swim schools over the years around the north shore and definitely rate this system as the best for us. The staff behind the desk are always happy and polite, the 3 instructors Tash, Manfred and Gordon are doing a super job with our kids. Even Dan from the assessing team is friendly and very observant watching the kids strokes all the time and always approachable. Very happy family at Lane cove Carlile.

I can’t say enough good things about the swim school - friendly staff, great clean facilities, excellent dedicated instructors, and easy car park. Special shout out to my child's instructor Tilly! My 5-year-old has shown incredible progress in both confidence and comfort in the water, all thanks to Tilly’s amazing teaching style. Her stern yet friendly approach has really worked well – it’s clear that she has a deep understanding of how to motivate young children while maintaining a fun and safe environment. My child looks forward to every lesson and has made good progress in her swimming skills. Highly recommend Carlile Swimming (and Tilly) 🙌🏼👏🏼
