Our Story
A passion for teaching children and a lifelong association with swimming on all levels, lead to the founding of our swim school in Ormeau in December 2017.
We identified Ormeau as a good central location with a wider catchment area, and proudly can say that our unique brand of learn to swim experience attracts swimmers from as far as 35 km away. In fact 45% of our customers travel 10-35km to attend lessons, driving past 3-4 other swim schools.
As owner-operators of the swim school, Ann and Greg have a wealth of experience in swimming. As swimmers themselves, they steered their children through club and state-level competitive swimming, as well as open water swimming; with Greg serving for many years as a swim club chairman and competitive swimming official at state events.
Ann has 20 years’ experience as a learn to swim teacher and centre supervisor, and our unique program is fashioned by the understanding and expertise she gained from teaching thousands of children over the years.
Why Aqua Kidz?
Children learn better and faster when they are happy, and we have considered this in all aspects of our learn to swim environment.
Our privately-owned boutique swim school is unlike busy and noisy council pools. When children walk through our front door, they immediately feel the warm, inviting, fun themed environment. Parents frequently compliment our facilities and high standards of cleanliness. Simple things like baby change tables supplied with baby wipes, showers with kids bodywash/shampoo, change cubicles, and even hairdryers – these make the swimming experience enjoyable for everyone.
Our 33°( ozone and UV treated pool water is Healthy Swim Certified providing healthy swimming conditions all year round.
All these factors combinedwith our AUSTSWIM qualified teachers provide your child with the perfect conditions to progress in our unique learn to swim program.
