Our Staff
Our friendly staff are passionate about teaching children to develop the necessary skills and confidence they need to be safe in and around the water.
Our Learn To Swim program caters for all ages from four months. Being able to swim presents the ability to enjoy everything the Aussie lifestyle has to offer. Weekends at the pool, or family holidays by the water. Living close to the Murrumbidgee river poses a risk for all kids and adults and as a result many drownings over the years. We’re here to help reduce these deaths. All our Swim Instructors have working with children checks and are fully qualified AUSTSWIM or SWIM AUSTRALIA (ASCTA) accreditation.
At Wagga Swim Hub we offer swimming lessons to all children, no matter how old, how much experience or confidence they have around the water. We also offer free come and try assessment. The assessment will help our qualified teachers determine which swim and skill development level, is most suitable for the child.
Our Facility
Our swimming pool is a large purpose-built salt water pool which includes an indoor 25m and Hydrotherapy pool. Our pool is indoor and heated to a toasty 33 degrees all year round!
This makes it a great place for children to swim regardless of the season. Our pool is fully equipped with both adults and children’s bathroom and disabled toilet and shower, baby changing tables for our Aqua Bub’s and a parents/guardian viewing room equipped with a kid’s play area to keep everyone comfortable.
We have plenty of parking on site and extra parking directly over the road, so parking is never a problem!
Our pool has recently been upgraded to salt water and also sanitised through state of the art Ozone and UV light , meaning this is safer and also softer on children’s skin.
