What our customers say about us

We have had a lovely friendly experience here. Our child’s swimming and confidence has grown with each lesson and we are very happy with the service, the teachers and the owners of the business. Highly recommend this swim school

D. Du Mont

My 11 year old son had to have his swimming and floating ability evaluated to join Nippers. Chris saw us at 6.30 am, before his regular classes, and conducted this assessment. He was helpful, supportive and patient with my son and offered him practical advice for swimming in the ocean.

T. Priestley

My kids love having their lessons at Shapland! The teachers are great and even my anxious child really settled and thrives there.

K. O’Donnell

An amazing swim school. Nothing but great experiences. My kids have become so confident and safe in the water. One even won a few ribbons at his first swim carnival recently. Highly recommended.
