There are four, skills based, Learn to Swim levels, starting with Penguins. These lessons are in small classes, with lots of fun and games to keep children engaged. Carlile nurtures each child as they build the skills they need to advance with confidence, learn to swim and love the water.

Floating comfortably on their back, on their own, is an important safety skill and confidence builder.
Moving through the water, taking a breath and going again is a key safety skill, and an important step in development.
Fast kicking, with and without a kick board, is the beginnings of swimming both freestyle and backstroke.
Torpedos are lots of fun and important in learning to streamline. Head down, arms straight, fast kicks and off they go!
The beginnings of freestyle and learning to breathe, while bringing their arms over, is an exciting and important step.
The first signs of backstroke, with fast kicks and arms coming over, is another exciting progression.
Trained beyond the industry standard, supported by Supervisors ensuring high quality lessons, in a system proven to deliver outstanding results.
Building the skills to help children confidently progress, the Carlile system is at the cutting edge of learn to swim.
Children love the warm water and our depths, lengths, ledges and platforms support confident learning. World’s best practice technology ensures hygiene.
We love children and watching them become kids who love to swim. Even better is seeing former students bringing their kids or grandkids to Carlile.
If your child accidentally falls into a pool, chances are they will not be wearing floaties. They give a false sense of security and make learning to swim correctly more difficult.
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) 🙌🏼👏🏼
