Duck and Dive Baby Swim School

Hands down the best swim school for babies & toddlers. My son has been attending since he was 12 weeks old and at 2.5 years is able to find and hold onto the wall himself, blow bubbles, flip in the water to breathe safely & jump into the water and climb back out. I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the dedication of the Duck & Dive team to helping my son find confidence in the water, grow to love swimming & to find a class that suited his development stage & awake windows. It’s fantastic to find a swim school that balances safety & fun and this has enabled my son to learn important swim safety skills whilst having an absolute blast.

We join the swimming classes when my daughter was 6 months old and now after 5 years we are stil going strong and doing weekly classes. Very organise, incridably clean and professional coaches. I m proud to recommend Duck and Dive to anyone who is looking for a swimming school for their precious little one.

We absolutely love our swimming lessons at duck and dive. Our little girl is one now and her pool safety amazes us. She has loved lessons from day one and is such a little water baby these days. We have nieces and nephews who are a little older and do mainstream swimming lessons and it’s amazing to see first hand the difference of duck and dive lessons for the little ones. Couldn’t recommend them enough. Our teacher Barb is just fabulous and loves seeing the kids learn as much as the parents. It’s by far the best swimming lessons in Sydney.

The best swim school!Our little baby went to Duck and Dive and Barbara was an amazing teacher. Although only 4 months when he started he picked up skills quickly based on her teaching method. Everything from her teaching to the pool, change rooms, class sizes and age groups, parking and communication via an app was 5 star. We have since moved out of the area and tried other swim schools and none come close to how good Duck and Dive is.I would highly recommend enrolling your children here.

Great teachers and very helpful staff. Always available for a chat to help with any concerns and enjoyable swimming lessons. Thank you :)

Highly recommended!My daughter has attended swimming lessons at Duck and Dive Artarmon since she was 2.5 years and she has enjoyed every minute.It is with great regret that we won’t be attending this school anymore due to our weekday work commitments. My daughter has absolutely loved her lessons with Adam and her swimming has improved immensely over the last 6 months through their Learn to Swim program. She will no doubt really miss her classes with Adam but I am confident that the foundational skills she has developed will set her up for success in the future. Thank you Adam, Barbara and the Duck and Dive Team!

After contacting several swim schools, Duck and Dive were the only ones that offered lessons for babies under 6 months. At 6 weeks, we started lessons and now into term 2, my little boy loves being in the water and is being taught essential skills for water safety. The facilities in Artarmon are second to none, having a private purpose built pool heated to a minimum 32 degrees, large change rooms with change tables and ample on site parking. This enables the focus to be on the little bubs rather than having to share pools or manage logistics. Barbara and Adam are excellent teachers, giving parents the confidence and tools to continue building their babies' skills outside of the lessons. I highly recommend this school to all my family and friends.

Absolute 11/10 swim school for your kiddies… My near 3 year old daughter has been coming to weekly classes since 4 months old! My daughter has extreme confidence in and around the water and both her and I have made some wonderful friends along our journey. The above and beyond nature all the stuff have is incredible and have felt apart of their family since day 1. The structure of lessons is all about safety, fundamental skills, gradual learning and a whole lot of fun! For kids and parents!Barbara (owner) was our teacher and she has been incredible. I love that she and her husband (also owner) are in the pool as well. I’m saddened that I’ve had to get back into work and will have to find another school for times that suit our new schedule next term! But I’m here to preach loud and proud that this swim school is fantastic and don’t go anywhere else!!We love you duck and dive! We will miss you!

My son has been attending lessons since he was two months old (he is turning 5 this year). I highly recommend Duck and Dive over any other swimming school. Very professional, PH pool levels are tested constantly, the only school to have a 2 students to 1 teacher for learn to swim. The only school in Sydney catering for babies. Best service, best people, beat swimming school.

Loving Duck and Dive in Artarmon. Take my son weekly. Very private setting in a clean and heated pool. We have had Helen and Barbara as instructors and they are incredible. It’s such a well structured class with fun activities but incorporating essential swimming drills. Orlando has learnt so much already and we both look forward to it every week. Highly recommend to everyone. Thanks so much. Dave & Orlando
