Hi all,

 

Apart for the Aquatic Centre, what swim facilities are there?

 

Looking in particular for learn to swim for a 6 and 4 year-old towards the beach side Glenelg or above?

There's a good pool in Seaton, just off Tapleys Hill Road.

 

Take a look at the state swim website

Good spot - my wife is desperate to find an outdoors pool, so she is well chuffed - opens up again in October for the season, so we'll know then, I guess.

there are outdoor pools at Marion, Unley and Norwood also.

Excellent!! My wife brought up in a hot climate and think she is desperate for the kids to have a similar experience, but she couldn't immediately find outdoor pools on the website. Cheers for this.

Our kids go to stateswim, and they love it, they have come on so much, and in summer they both go in the sea now!! As for outdoor pools, the one in Oaklands park, just opposite the driver education centre is great, with a slippery dip (waterslide to us) baby pool, small pool for wee ones, and the normal big pool. Lots of shade sails, big grass area, playpark, and even a coffee/burger bar. Yes we go there from October when it opens, and love it.

Brilliant! The kids will love that, and we know their swimming skills will be a bit behind their native peers, so roll on October - in the meantime, swimschool here we come....
