Nepean Aquatic Centre

My nearly 3-year-old started lessons here in late September. On one of his first classes, he was left unattended on the step while the instructor was at the other end of the pool. He fell in and was floating face-down when I had to jump in and pull him out. There was no lifeguard or supervisor, and I was told they only provide one “when staffing allows.” Over the two months we stayed, there was no consistency with instructors, constant make-up students added into classes, and teachers who didn’t know the kids’ abilities. My son went from loving swimming to clinging to me and refusing to get in. He gained no new skills and has become fearful which is the exact opposite of what we paid for. Overall, a stressful and disappointing experience and a waste of money.

Great place for kids swimming lessons. Miss Tanya is an amazing teacher who provides feedback to the parents as well as the students. Nepean Aquatic centre is clean and offers Aqua aerobics and free swimming times as well. There are three pool areas, a shallow pool, a deep water pool and a 25metre kap pool.
