Forbes Carlile believed passionately that swimming well was a gift that could not only save a life but bring joy. That belief has been proven correct, through many hundreds of thousands of swimming lessons, and in the generations of Australians that have loved swimming with Carlile. Countless former Carlile students have bought their children and grandchildren back to learn to swim in the same pools where they had swimming lessons as children. Many Carlile teachers are former students, who love swimming and love passing that gift to the children they teach.
