    Please note that the customer portal is for current SQUAD swimmers only. If you are a new customer, please phone the centre.

  • What age can my baby start lessons?

    4 months old.

  • What do I need to bring for a parent & child lesson?

    Please ensure your child is wearing a regulation swim nappy, and swimmers they are comfortable in. If you forget a swim nappy, we have some available for purchase at the centre. The adult should also wear comfortable swimwear. We do recommend for the adult to wear a shirt or rash shirt over swimmers, so the child can practise “reaching and grabbing”

    Other items to bring include towels and a change of clothes. Caps, goggles and floatation devices are not necessary. We have showers, toilets and change mats available for your use before and after your lesson.

  • Do you run by terms?

    No, we run all year round! We run as normal through all school holidays. We are only closed for major public holidays, and between Christmas - New Year. 

  • Do I need to download your app?

    Our Coughlan's Swim School app and customer portal is for enrolled SQUAD swimmers only. Please do not download our app and create an account until your child is enrolled in one of our squad programs.
