Welcome to Shapland Swim School Ipswich. Our purpose-built swim school is proudly managed by Lucas and Marie Shapland.

The son of the founder of Shapland Swim School Chris Shapland, Lucas is a 4^th generation swim teacher bringing with him the experience of the family that came before him. His grandfather Bernie Shapland and great grandfather Thomas Shapland were all swim teachers and passed on their passion for the water.

Growing up in a swim family, Lucas has over 20 years of teaching experience, having learned first-hand how to support each child in their unique swim journey, from babies through to advanced students. He shares this not only with his local Ipswich and Moorooka community, having managed Shapland Swim School Moorooka since 2013, but also with his two young boys, Bernie and Murphy.

They are committed to making your child’s learn-to-swim experience the best one possible, and look forward to supporting your child to flourish.

General Information

Swim Classes
Each and every of our swim classes have a maximum of only 3 children per class. This is to ensure we optimise your child’s learning through focused attention, fun and reduced distractions. Our airconditioned observation area provides parents and loved ones the opportunity to watch each swim class in quiet comfort.

Flexible Make-up lesson
We understand that life can get busy sometimes, and that flexibility to support your child’s learning is important. That’s why we offer the option to reschedule your child’s class to a better time that suits when needed. Simply remove your child from their class prior to the cut of time and you’ll be able to re-book them for a new time when suits better. You can do all this through the MySSS Client Portal or simply call or email us.

Our Unique Pool Design
Our state-of-the-art swim facility is uniquely designed for you and your child’s needs in mind. With several different depths to support progressive learning your child can gain confidence and develop their skills quickly. Our airconditioned observation area provides parents and loved ones the opportunity to watch each swim class in quiet comfort.

Heated Pool
At Shaplands the comfort of your child is our top priority. That’s why our pool is set at 32 degrees Celsius all year round. As children generally have a low percentage body fat, our 8 decades of teaching experience has taught us that they usually feel cold in water below 32 degrees Celsius. It is important to us that every child, as well as their parent who enters the water with them feels comfortable in the water. This ensures that the activity of swimming brings joy and your child’s learning can be optimised.

Magna Mineral Water – A Miracle!
Shaplands are dedicated to enhancing the health and wellbeing of your child. Because we understand that some children have eyes and skin that are sensitive, we use Magna mineral pool water. This innovation in water science provides Shapland’s with a healthier water for your children to learn-to-swim and bathe in. Not only is it gentle on eyes, and therapeutic for the skin, it also naturally sanitises the pool water 24/7.

Our Swim Teachers

Expertise and safety are our priority, and we ensure each of our teachers are highly trained and nationally certified. All of our teachers are AUST SWIM/ASCTA qualified and are Blue Card holders with CPR and first aid training. They also receive continuous swim training to ensure ongoing safety compliance and expertise.

And, because learning should be fun, each member of our team shares a deep passion for the water and pride themselves of providing a fun, safe and engaging learning environment where your child will flourish.

Most importantly, we value building strong bonds with our pupils and their families because this not only creates a great swim community, but also fosters feelings of security for your child in the pool. That’s why we aim to have stable teachers and avoid changing your child’s teacher as much as possible. This means your child gets to know their teacher, forms a secure and trusted relationship with them. This in turn enhances their learning and skill development.

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.
