Little Snappers Swim School Yarrabilba

Little Snappers is a very clean and friendly facility. We are always greeted with a smile as we walk in the door and all the instructors are warm, friendly and inviting. The pool is heated, which has made swimming in winter warm and enjoyable. We love how the whole swim school is heated throughout so when you get out of the water it’s still a lovely temperature and the children stay warm while getting changed before or after a lesson. I would High recommend Little Snappers for swimming lessons to anyone looking. Our little girl loves going to swimming, she gets excited as soon as we get to the front door.

I brought my 3.5 year old to this swim school for a trial. She’s been swimming since 8 weeks old elsewhere and is a confident and independent swimmer.We brought her here after trialling a couple of other swim schools too as we are looking for a closer school.The venue is nice, easy to get to and a good sized pool.The class appeared okay, however my daughter was being supported in everything she did and wasn’t let to show off any of her independence or skills - I looked past this as this is common for trials because they don’t yet know your child’s ability. However once we got out of the pool I was informed that the instructor doesn’t think my daughter was suitable for that class and would need a lower level. Obviously I was quite confused as at her other 2 schools she was advanced and they even put her up early. She can also swim across the pool independently and at no point during the trial class did she seem unhappy with being in the pool alone or her level of confidence - in fact she appeared bored and was getting annoyed that the teacher wouldn’t even let her swim alone.I explained this to reception that if she was let to actually swim independently she would have shown she is actually at that level (in fact I noticed she was doing better than 2 of the other participants in that level who are regulars in that level). I was told she’d have to go in the lower level.I know my daughter well and if she was bored in the level 3 already then she’d be bored in the lower level so I didn’t enrol her.After the class my daughter said it was boring and she wants to go back to her old school where it was fun and she did more - I guess that’s the answer I needed!We will continue elsewhere where my child’s skill level is acknowledged and she is allowed to thrive in her environment rather than be babied and then told she’s not confident.Not a good experience, which is sad considering the school is nice. I would imagine the children wouldn’t progress as well due to the style of teaching there because the children really are babied quite a lot compared to the other schools we have attended - something to keep an eye on if you send your kid there.We currently go to rackleys and will continue there unless we find somewhere closer as my child doesn’t want to go back to little snappers especially if she has to be in the younger baby class (under 3 years old) when she’s an independent and confident 3.5 year old swimmer.Thanks for the trial! Hoping this is a lesson learnt for the school and they will tweak their trials a bit to avoid losing more customers.

I have sent my daughter (8yrs) to Little Snappers for around 2 years in the swim squad and now my son (3yrs) who is learning to swim. Although my daughter no longer swims here (chose a different sport) every single teacher was absolutely incredible with her and noticed what she needed to work on each lesson ensuring she was making progress. She has been to swim schools since she was 3yrs old and this is by far my favourite swim school.My Son has been at Little Snappers now for 2 months, and being a full of energy 3 year old boy the staff are great with being patient with him and supporting him.The staff all work together so well and treat each other respectfully, creating an amazing environment.Very special mention to Emmy who is the main front of house staff member that most people will deal with. Truly, if she wasn’t there to deal with for the last couple of years, I don’t know if we would have the same love for little snappers without her. I have seen her late Tuesday nights dealing with adults for aqua aerobics, seen her deal with parents and children, seen her filling in for swim squad classes and just this morning go out of her way to help my son regain his water confidence after a recent fall in the water. Every interaction she has with staff or customers is compassionate genuine and friendly. She truly is an invaluable staff member in my opinion!Thanks Little Snappers! We will continue to be loyal customers for my son, maybe daughter again in the future, and our soon to arrive new bub.

I recommend Little Snappers as a reliable, safe and fun place for a swimming lesson! From newborn welcome to Waters to adults' lessons. The admin are very friendly, responsive and flexible. Although small, the place is clean and accommodates all needs (change rooms, baby change tables, showers, disability toilets). The kids lessons are busy ones and that's a good sign!

Has been fantastic for our two kids ages 5 and 4 now considering one was very hesitant he is now able to swim 5 meters or so unassisted in a short period of time. Very flexible and understand that kids can and do get sick and offer make up lessons and they are happy to work with you with your fees if your not able to pay all of it upfront. Learning to swim is so important and Little Snappers Swim School makes it so easy. Thank you

We have been here since sept 2022 and the girls are so lovely and any issues have been sorted out in a quick and genuine manner. We’ve had the pleasure of having miss Debbie, miss Jo, miss Taylor and miss Shelley, all have been so caring and supportive of my daughters more sensitive needs. It is a great centre, I love that if you want a second lesson it’s half price which is awesome and that it is year round too! Highly recommended.

SENSATIONAL FACILITY – Swimming has not always been an easy thing for our little man, the ladies here are amazing from front reception to all the swim coaches. I love that there is a real guideline to the swimming lessons, going up the levels and getting the certificates has been great for Boyd. The facilities make swimming here so enjoyable and easy. We love the place and very much look forward to starting swimming here with our next baby. Thank you ladies – keep up the great work.

To think just 4 months ago this little boy was extremely frightened of swimming pools. The ladies at Little Swimmers, Yarrabilba teach my two sons, each presenting their own challenges however Wendy and Lisa have been amazing! They have been extremely patient and nurturing and since enrolling here both boys have come such a long way in such a short time. All the staff are very friendly, welcoming and I also find them to be very helpful and accommodating. I have tried 3 other swim schools in the area and when speaking to others have no hesitation in recommending Little Snappers! If I could rate them higher than 5 I would. Thank you Little Snappers Yarrabilba for restoring my boys confidence and showing them how to enjoy swimming again :)

I went 2-3 times weekly for the Aqua areobics staff are all very friendly and it’s well maintained and clean it helped me lose 29 kgs for surgery over 7 and a half months

My son has gone to Little Snappers for two terms now and our family love it there, the staff are friendly, we have all had a go swimming with him even my Mum who struggles at times with mobility, Little Snappers facilitated even her to join the fun so she didn't miss out on swim class with her grandson. Their facilities are great, always clean and tidy. Very happy with them and would happily recommend them.
