The service has declined. Poor communication. Kids only get reviewed every 3 months!! Thats if they get reviewed. My child has lost the passion for swimming as she was kept in the same class for a long time and was not taught anything new nor was it communicated to her of what she required to achieve to move up to a different class. Waste of money and time. Multiple parents have also expressed the same disappointment and dissatisfaction. Go elsewhere!!!
Went into carlile to enroll my son into swimming lessons as he is beginning primary school. I was assisted by a lovely girl named Sophia, made swimming lessons for my son a breeze.
I’ve been coming here since I was a baby, as I grew up and coming as an adult I’ve been noticing there are very limited space to swim while either holidays weekends even school days. The bathroom is always full the showers are always hogged by 1 family n they take 4 showers. There were 2 new family showers that people hogged literally someone stayed in there all day so no one could use it I saw. SO RIDICULOUS. Today I went, around 3-5 there was a water polo game that disrupted the big pool on the other side so limiting access for us swimmers. This is very inconvenient for us paying money to enter. Should’ve been warned about it as well on entry. Also I had left our bags on the other side on steps. I saw people moving my things to sit where I placed my bags n thought that was disrespectful of the water polo people. Have some respect for the public as we pay money to enter unlike u people. The pool in the middle needs a serious renno. There should be a pool for kids a seperate pool for adults n a seperate pool for kids or have school events, cause I’ll tell ya I saw poo n wee, band aids n peoples skin floating in the pool. It was disgusting. for the convenience of people get it fixed.
Only good thing I like about this place is the slide.
Also the ladies at the cafe today did an excellent job giving how busy it was they were still respectful n taking everyone’s orders respectfully n quickly. Well done ladies!

Got there during weekdays, the normal pool was still crowded. It’s a good place for children. But for the locker, have $2 coin. so that you can keep your bags safe (also that $2 is “one time use” only, meaning if you have to open the locker repeatedly you have to put $2 in the locker system to get the locker close) That’s stupid!
Its not the best aquatic centre. Dark and in need of an upgrade in my opinion.
The water temperature was quite cool, small child only lasted 10 minutes before shivering. So not worth money money.
The shop was adequate service staff quite friendly and accomodating. Prices resonable.
I will not be visiting anytime soon because of water temp.

Fantastic indoor pool for both adults and kids. Perfectly allocated areas for lane swimming, wave pool, whirlpools, water slides, other water play equipment, another warm pool for swimming programs but kids can jump in when there’s no programs going on, spa, sauna and steam room. This place has it all that 4 hours parking almost doesn’t seem enough.
They accept fitness passport so great value for anyone already with that membership.
There is also a canteen there with a wide selection of food. Can’t remember them all but there are pies, sandwiches, fried seafood and chips, muffins, donuts, ice cream and most importantly, coffee. If there’s a swimming class on expect a long wait but there’s vending machines right next to them if you need a quick grab and go.
Outdoor parking is free and plentiful. It seems small cause it’s always packed but whenever we go and do a round we always seem to find a spot within a couple of minutes.
Ryde Aquatic and Sydney Olympic Aquatic are by far the two best pools in the area and a must visit.

Went around 11am on a Saturday. No parking, but we expected that. Found parking on the street okay. Started off with a snack, and found seating at the cafe easily. Prices were reasonable, especially for an aquatic centre. Chips were good, but a bit too salty. We then went swimming. Had an amazing time. My (tall) 3yo had the best time in the leisure pool. He could stand for going in the whirlpools and the little spa type alcoves in both whirlpools. Thoroughly enjoyed the wave pool when it started. The water park type area in the leisure pool was great for keeping the toddler entertained, with the spouts and buckets tipping out. After swimming, we again went to get food around 2pm, and the cafe was busier, but we still got a table okay. More seating would definitely be beneficial. We will definitely be back though, as we had a fantastic time.
So happy with our experience when attending to celebrate our daughters birthday. The staff, facilities and pool areas are all really good. Nothing was too much for them and the Cafe is well stocked including a small but good selection of gluten free foods.
Come here to bring my family member to swimming class while I exercise during the class runs. Limited space for normal entry individuals without lessons during school term weekdays afternoon.
Good place to exercise.
Well maintained.
Toilets and showers are clean.

Very crowded and very small. The water pressure wasn’t enough in the last circle and majority of the pool is too shallow. Someone also pooped in the pool and we had to stay outside for 30 minutes even though we just got there for 5 minutes.
Excellent facility for kids to learn. My son has been to a few different swim schools before but he has progressed at Carlile the most. Professional teachers and staff.
really good teachers and amazing experience my daugther has while she learns how to swim their programmes are tailored accordingly to their recommended age.....
Teachers are great, good to have a warm pool for kids to learn swimming during winter.
However, our child is constantly kept in the same class for over 30 lessons, and cannot be progressed because our child doesn't know how to take a second breath. Problem is, you look at all the other kids in the other lanes none of them take a second breath except for the Sunday classes who do laps. No matter what we cannot move up.
So instead of learning how to swim. My child is going every week to play with other kids, can't even move up a class for a challenge so she will want to learn how to take a second breath. Waste of time, waste of money.

We have been attending Carlile Swimming in Ryde since July this year with our 4 and 6 year old, both are having a great time while learning the highly valuable skill of swimming. We have been to a couple of other places over the years, but I have to say this is the best one by far. So if you have a child that needs to learn how to swim I would highly recommend
My daughters had 1 term learning and Ryde Aquatic Centre and seemed to be making backwards steps with their swimming. Since joining Ryde Swim School they have both come on leaps and bounds and are now much more confident being in the water! The team are great and I look forward to many more lessons with them
Great teachers, my daughter loves going to lessons!
Taught my two daughters to swim. Reasonably priced. Very kind and understanding tutors. Very accommodating - try to give you a make up lesson if you miss a lesson due to illness, etc.
My Daughter goes to this swim school and has advanced very quickly from non-swimmer to confident swimmer. Jenny and her team of instructors provide a service they you cannot get through a larger swim school.
Poor communication...I tried to tell daughters swim coach that daughter had hearing problems. I got told to go away....several months later discover that the coach has not even told the child when she is being timed for swimming group promotion hence she was effectively told to leave because she missed several weeks due to Christmas and me not being able to take her there as I was ill but they care not. Compulsory meets where no coaches turn up to provide feedback. No receipts for $++ taken every month. DONT BE FOOLED BY THESE PEOPLE
