If you’re looking for swimming lessons in Ryde in a caring environment, then why not jump into the water at Sydney’s first-ever indoor teaching pool? Carlile Swimming Ryde is where founders Forbes and Ursula Carlile pioneered baby and toddler swimming lessons in 1961.
From Babies to Olympians, Carlile Swimming has the right level for your child. The baby program is wonderful bonding and along the way little ones learn skills that could save their life. The learn-to-swim program caters for toddlers through to older beginners, while there is stroke correction to help children learn to swim well and develop a technique which will enrich their lives forever and have them ready to advance to Carlile’s Squad program.

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) 🙌🏼👏🏼
