Learn To Swim and Have Fun At
Swimming Monkeys Swim School
We Teach Your Kids How To Swim
At Swimming Monkeys we teach children from as young as 5 years old how to learn to swim in a safe, friendly and fun environment.
Best of all our class sizes for children are limited to a maximum of 3 students per class to ensure your child receives the attention they deserve whilst learning the essential swimming skills.
One of our passions is to provide your children (and even adults) with the necessary skills to stop your child (or yourself) from drowning. You should be confident around any water body, whether it's a beach, a pool river or even a dam.
Learning to swim can be fun and teaches this potential life saving skill.
Swimming Monkeys was established in 2000 and over the past years we have trained hundreds of children and even adults how to swim.
Learning how to swim and mastering this at any age can benefit you throughout your life.
Why risk not being able to swim, especially in Australia.

Testimonials
Anna Riccio
John Devereux has been my children's swimming instructor for almost 4 years now and the kids absolutely love him and have learnt to swim, be safe in the water and have fun at the same time.
My son is autistic and John has dealt with him in the most appropriate way to get the most from him. Alexander now listens, takes and understands instructions whilst learning how to swim, which I thought was going to be really hard to achieve.
Both kids listen and enjoy going to the lessons and John's gentle manner and ability to understand how to deal with each child has been instrumental in the kids learning their swimming skills. I would recommend him to anyone and have.
Elizabeth Gujinovic
John Devereux has been my sons instructor for the last 2 years. Due to fear initially, my son did not entirely enjoy lessons, but through John’s encouragement he has become a confident child in the water, no longer fearing “the deep end”!
We have seen a huge improvement with his swimming & he truly loves attending lessons.
Thanks for all your efforts John & I highly recommend your lessons to children of all abilities in the water.
Rebecca Adamson
John has taught all of my 3 children to swim and be safe in the water.
Two of my children had ear issues and didn't want to learn to swim - but John has the perfect blend of fun and structure - and had them in the water and swimming in no time.
My kids look forward to their swim lessons and that's the best testimonial a parent can get.
Bec Speed
All three of my children (4, 6 and 9) have swum with John since preschool and have all made huge gains in skill and confidence.
My eldest son had been nervous with new people and of large swimming pools when he was very young. We had tried a number of local swimming schools, with no success. A friend highly recommended John as they too had had reluctant swimmers.
John's patient, encouraging manner, small class sizes and quiet pools made all the difference. With John's nurturing ways, he quickly grew in confidence and skill.
