Goodlife Swim School is a place where your little people matter. Make lessons the highlight of their week in our beautiful facilities with qualified instructors who will teach your child with excellence.

We love to engage with your child and encourage progress at a comfortable pace while they develop their aquatic skills. Our Swim Australia trained teachers bring state of the art teaching methods combined with enjoyable fun elements to create a positive environment.

As a not-for-profit community centre our aim is to serve the community by offering small class sizes and affordable lesson prices. We are a Royal Lifesaving QLD Love2Swim endorsed Swim School. We also offer a wonderful path way from our casual introductory Bubble Babies lessons through to squads with the option to engage in social or competitive swimming through our Goodlife Community Swimming Club and their family friendly Race Night held during the summer months.

Cost

$20.50 per lesson (from Jan 2025) - paid fortnightly, via Direct Debit,

All swimming lessons must be paid by completing a Debit form. The first withdrawal starts from your child’s first swimming lesson. Money will be debited from your account fortnightly thereafter. 

Cancellation and refund policy

Refunds for missed or cancelled classes will not be offered. Credits for cancelled lessons will only be issued if a child has missed lessons due to major illness and upon presentation of a medical certificate.

Casual learn to swim booking

If your child just needs a couple of lessons, you can pay for a casual swim lesson upon availability. The cost is $22.50 per class. Casual lessons can only be booked NO more than one week in advance

Year round lessons

We recognise the importance of all year-round swimming not only for fitness and swimming progression but for the fact it saves lives.

There is a 3-week closure over the Christmas/New Year family celebratory period for Learn to Swim. You will also have the option to use an additional 4 weeks off at any time throughout the year on completion of a Class Hold Request Form and will be guaranteed your placing on return. If you wish to take a longer break your child will be taken out of their scheduled lessons and will be placed on a waitlist subject to availability on return. As a not-for-profit organisation Goodlife Swim School are committed to providing affordable prices, clients are charged fortnightly via Ezi Debit payments.

Public holidays

If your child’s lesson falls on a public holiday (outside of the three weeks closure at Christmas) they are entitled to a makeup lesson within the following three months. We highly recommend make-up lessons be booked as close to the missed lesson as possible.  Please email swimschool@goodlife.org.au to arrange this.

Make-up lessons

In the event you cancel your child’s lesson, they will be offered a make-up lesson. Make-up lessons will need to be booked a week in advance and must be used within three months of the original lesson. 

We will do our best but cannot guarantee times will always be available to suit your needs. In this instance we offer a family swim pass to be used for admission to our outdoor 25-metre and toddler pools. 

Make up lessons will not be offered for any absence of a scheduled lesson that has not been notified to reception or the swim school office via phone or email. We ask that you give us two hours notice if your child will not be attending their class.

Class holds

The class hold is ideal for holidays or where make-ups are difficult due to personal commitments. Classes will not be held for longer than four weeks unless a medical certificate is presented. 

In the event you wish for your child to take a break from swimming, we offer up to four weeks of class holds free of charge for every twelve months plus there will be an additional three-week closure over Christmas/New Year.  

Two weeks advanced notice must be given. Your child will be removed from their current schedule during the class hold period but will be guaranteed a place in their same lesson time on return from the class hold. If they require longer than four weeks (without a doctors certificate) re-enrolment of the same schedule cannot be guaranteed upon their return to lessons.

The Class Hold Request Form needs to be emailed or submitted to the swim school two weeks in advance.  These are available via the link below or at reception.

Bubble Babies

An informal water introductory class for babies 10 weeks to 12 months are held in the indoor heated pool offered as follows:

Bubble Babies is an informal in-water session for infants and children from ten weeks to 12 months of age, aimed at introducing water awareness and familiarisation in a tranquil and stress-free environment. Our highly skilled Swim Australia qualified teacher will be on hand to answer your aquatic related questions and demonstrate water activities for you to practice at home. These sessions are more casual than a class. Bookings are essential as numbers are limited, call reception on 5444 2126 and select extension ‘0’. Call the swim school office for further information.

Swim school office hours

Mon - Fri 9.00am - 2.00pm & 3.30pm - 5.30pm
Sat & Sun CLOSED

We love email, it is the best way to make an enquiry. Use the form at the bottom of this page or send a message to swimschool@goodlife.org.au.

Nappies, goggles and caps

All children under the age of three years are required to wear a properly fitted swim nappy for the duration of the swimming lesson.  The cost of having to clean the pool if an accident occurs is extreme and will also cause all lessons that day to be cancelled.  Only once the child is completely toilet trained are they exempt from this policy.

We reserve the right for our instructors to refuse inclusion of your child into the pool without appropriate swim nappy or if they are wearing a soiled swim nappy.

All children from Level 4 up are required to wear goggles and a cap.  This helps to prevent sore eyes from chlorine and hair loss in the pool.

All children perform activities without goggles in their class to help develop water confidence in situations where they may not have goggles.

Nappies, goggles and caps are all sold at the front counter for your convenience.

Instructors

Our dedicated instructors love kids! They are committed to seeing your child learn safe water skills and develop excellent stroke techniques.
