Review related to swim school only. The pool itself is great and so is the kids section with water sprinklers etc. The swim school staff particularly the coordinator is rude and they’re not inclusive of kids needs. Private classes are advertised but not actually offered as it’s in their best interest to have group lessons, rather than looking out for the interests and needs of the child. They lack flexibility and have zero phone or email customer service skills. The coordinator acts like they’re doing you a favour by trying to give your kid swimming lessons, rather than treat it as the important Australian skills needed to keep kids safe.
