Independent Reviews

Both of my daughters have been swimming in the center for many years! The staffs are very friendly and my kids love the centre very much! From baby to now, they have been support on my daughter’s swimming journey! They always been flexible on parents’ schedules and super helpful! I will rated them 10/10. Special mentioned to the staffs and teachers in the centre: Jackie, Claire, Maddie and Ben!

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) 🙌🏼👏🏼

We've had a very positive experience at Carlile Lane Cove West, and were encouraged by Allegra to share a review. Our daughter started in Tadpoles at 2.5y in June 2023 and has loved every minute of her lessons. It's so important to us that our kids are confident and happy in and around water, and Carlile's focus on learning these valuable skills and techniques is perfect for fostering that. Our daughter has been in the Seahorse class with Emilie H for a few months, and recently has made some really encouraging progress with her kicking and strokes. As a former swim teacher myself, I know that it can take time to master chin on chest, fast kicks, and overarm and get them happening all at once. It's important to be patient as the kids develop these skills and it's fantastic to see the positive encouragement from Emilie H, while not pushing our daughter to do things faster. Thank you Emilie, Allegra and Carlile Lane Cove West.

We had a great time at this place! The teachers are absolutely fantastic—big shout out to Tash and Jack, our wonderful instructors. The reception staff are super helpful, especially Jackie and Liv, who assist us with all our admin queries and patiently guide us through the app. The supervisors keep a close eye on the kids' progress and let us parents know when they’re ready to move up to the next level. A big bonus for us is the free carpark; being in the industrial area, there’s plenty of space available! 🥰

Excellent facility for kids to learn. My son has been to a few different swim schools before but he has progressed at Carlile the most. Professional teachers and staff.

Went into carlile to enroll my son into swimming lessons as he is beginning primary school. I was assisted by a lovely girl named Sophia, made swimming lessons for my son a breeze.

I am beyond grateful for Carlile swimming team and the amazing teachers. Both my kids are currently attending Norwest center. Ms.Stacey and Ms. Amanda were very patient with my toddler when he had trouble transitioning into the big pool. Now he enjoys his lessons very much and looking forward to his class every week.

I have 3 kids all are currently enrolled at this centre. I saw their development and the skills they have got so far incredible. Their progress is so smooth and have no complaints. Staff are so friendly. I could say that Carlile- Norwest is a great place to learn swim.

My 3 children all attend Carlile Swimming in Norwest and my youngest has a little anxiety about putting his head under the water. The team have all been so extremely supportive, trying different tactics to build his confidence. A special shout out to Alicia - her energy and passion shine through and Erica - her patience and gentleness has made my son feel secure; as well as Trish and Eloise who go the extra mile for him ensuring that special strategies are in place for him every week. I have never had to ask them for the extra support. They see the needs he has and graciously give him the extra support and encouragement. As for the older 2 children, they have moved up in skill levels 3 times in the space of 8 months. The team here at Carlile in Norwest are exceptional.

We have been using the facilities for all our kids from the last 9 years, this place is getting better by the day. Great location with awesome facilities; trainers are just at the next level with lots of patience. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent swim school. Room for improvement- shower facilities

Carlile Swimming Pool offers a pristine and well-maintained environment perfect for swimmers of all levels. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. With clean facilities and ample space, it's an ideal spot for both relaxation and training. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a top-tier swimming venue.

Been here for 6 years or more. All the admin staff and supervisors are super nice and helpful, they will assist you the best they can. Some teachers for the younger swimmer are great with children and very patient.

Great place for kids to learn swimming. Amazing staff who pays great attention to your child in their early years of swimming lessons. School holidays are even better as kids get intensive learning and practice (whenever possible). Just one observation that when the class is full, 6 or 7 kids seems a bit crowded. 5 kids max would be ideal. Overall two thumbs up!

Such a great place to learn swimming. Clean and very warm with beautiful team that makes this CARLILE CHERRYBROOK special. The teachers are absolutely Fantastic- mentioning just a few- Samantha, Liz, Lachlan. The support team is always ready to help. Big THANK YOU to NICK, SANDRA, LESLEY who always welcome you with a smile and are always ready to help! THANK YOU AGAIN.
