Carlile Swim is an Australian learn-to-swim school founded in 1946, with a heritage of teaching and innovation spanning around 80 years. Operating 32 locations across New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, Victoria and the ACT, it offers small, structured classes in warm, clean pools. Its programs support swimmers from babies and toddlers through children and adults, with lessons designed to build technique, water safety, confidence and steady progress.

Offerings include free weekly Little Starfish lessons for babies aged three to five months, infant and toddler classes, children’s swimming lessons, stroke development, squads, adult and private lessons, and school-holiday programs. Carlile also provides school swimming programs, disability and autism swimming lessons, aqua aerobics, hydrotherapy, water polo, lap swimming and pool hire. Its teaching approach draws on the work of swim-school pioneers Forbes and Ursula Carlile and emphasizes skilled instruction, close progress monitoring and adapting lessons to individual needs. The school serves beginners building water confidence as well as swimmers pursuing more advanced skills, with a focus on helping people become safer and stronger in the water.
