About Us

State Swim Schools have been providing the very best in aquatic education, in state of the art swimming lesson facilities to young Australians in Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne for over 40 years.

Our three different programs; the “Swim and Play” program (Waterbabies and Kindergarten), the “400 Gold” program (4 years and above) and the “Health and Sport” program (squad training) all offer its swimmers unique, quality, innovative lessons delivered by our fully qualified and experienced team members.

At State Swim we are constantly striving to ensure our swimming lessons cater for how children best learn the skills required to make them stronger, safer swimmers. Small class sizes, hands on instructors who are in the water with swimmers, clear verbal explanations of skills, demonstration of skills either by the instructor or by short skills videos on tablets, and manipulation of swimmers so they can feel the correct way to do a skill, grouped together, maximise a swimmers ability to learn the skills required in their lessons.

Revision is also a big part of our program. Our experience has shown that swimmers learn through a combination of reviewing previously learned skills so that these skills form a habit whilst also introducing new skills to keep the swimmer challenged, motivated and constantly learning.

We understand the importance of swimming lessons being accessible for people of all ages and abilities. This is evident in our main learn to swim programs, and it is also supported by the strength of other programs we offer including; SWIMVAC (school holiday program), adult lessons, lap swimming, aquarobics and our in-term swimming program for local schools.

Summer

Swimming lessons in the Summer

Swimming for fun in summer is great. However, to become stronger, safer swimmers we recommend our swimmers continue with their regular swimming lessons.

Regular lessons

With a regular swimming lesson (we recommend once a week) you will see how quickly swimmers can progress through our classes.

Winter

Swimming lessons in the Winter

Swimming in winter is just as important as swimming in Summer. Many summer, water-based activities stop over winter but we recommend swimmers continue with regular lessons.

Practice before Summer

Continuity in your child’s lessons ensures they are steadily progressing and helps them become stronger, safer swimmers for when the warm weather arrives.

Indoors and heated pools

All our pools are indoors and heated to 32 degrees. We also ensure the air temperature is warm for our swimmers and spectators and have change room facilities with warm showers.

“We would like to thank Louise for her professionalism and encouragement to both our boys. We are sure this has contributed to their fantastic progress in swimming. Thanks so much!”
Bernadette - Ellenbrook Swim School
“We are all VERY VERY HAPPY - the staff, the facilities and the general feel is AMAZING. The instructors are very friendly and supportive of the children in their learning - I personally can not speak more highly of them all. From walking through the front door to the end of the lesson - we feel welcomed and comfortable. Also to see the improvement with my sons swimming in 5 lessons - we couldn't be happier - he has certainly thrived since being with Kwinana. Thanks again.”
Jodi R - Kwinana Swim School
“We would love to thank Julie especially for all the hard work she put into Renae and her fear of the water due to an accident in a pool. Julie you are a treasure and your warm, kind, thoughtful nature is hard to come by. Our family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts. And finally thank you Caitlin and Terri for making us feel so welcome and cared for. Kindest regards Sarah F.”

“My son attends swim lessons on Saturday mornings. I would like to extend a compliment to Andrew and staff for their efforts in providing an efficient and friendly service. As a parent I feel confident that my son is in very capable and competent hands. This should be a benchmark for others to follow.”

“I have to agree. Shelley is the most lovely patient and clever ladies I have ever met. My daughter had been at Craigie Leisure Centre and was still not swimming after two years. Two weeks with Shelley and my daughter swam. I am forever in her debt. Thankyou so much Shel!xx”

Nataliah - Whitford Swim School
“We just wanted to take the time out to say a huge thank you to Jake and Roy for yesterday. From checking the kids were ok encouraging and supporting them, while at the same time having a laugh and making the whole afternoon fun. They are a credit to your team. The kids had a fab time and have some great PB's to top the day off and to show the boys coaching really has paid off ( especially Cayleigh's fly knocking 7 seconds off her PB!)”
Tray & Jason - Ellenbrook Swim School
“My daughter, Gwendoline, recently completed the week-long dedicated Vac. Swim butterfly class. In her own word: "He (Josh) explained everything clearly. He was kind, and he made it fun". Gwendoline thoroughly enjoyed attending each session and was so inspired by Josh's class, that she even wanted to continue on into the Saturday and Sunday! Thank you for making the swim vac. programme so enjoyable.”
Sue - Joondalup Swim School
“We recently moved both our boys to State Swim from another local centre in Kwinana, and since moving them within 2 lessons we have seen a vast improvement in their swimming. Our oldest son had actually not even been at swimming lessons in over a year and his stroke has improved significantly thanks to the awesome teachers. All the staff at State Swim are very helpful and always giving feedback to the parents.”
Stuart - Kwinana Swim School
“The staff at Secret Harbour State Swim are amazing. My 2 daughters have been welcomed into this community and they both look forward to going every week, they love their Instructors (Kyla & Kristy).”
