Gosford Olympic Swimming Pool

Rustic waterfront charm, this is what swimming pools in Australia were all about. Decent facility if you are looking for somewhere wet to swim that is not Brisbane waters

I took my 4-year-old son there today for an assessment to determine which level he would start in for swimming lessons. Unfortunately, I’ve never felt so uncomfortable. The person who conducted the test in the water, named Peter, was rolling his eyes from the moment my son entered the pool until he left, clearly showing frustration and impatience. He said things like: “He doesn’t stay still. “I’ll keep him underwater, at least that way he stays quiet. We’re talking about a 4-year-old child, and this instructor is supposedly trained to work with kids. If you choose to work with children, patience should be the bare minimum. Conclusion: my son will definitely not be taking lessons there. I left feeling very disappointed and upset.
