Why Superfish Swim Schools are SO Different

Drowning Prevention Program vs Conventional Learn to Swim Classes? One Word: SURVIVAL!

At Superfish, we focus on independent survival skills first – not endless “fun” lessons filled with songs and games. Our Drowning Prevention Program teaches babies and young children the vital skills they need to survive in water – from day one.

Traditional Learn to Swim classes often delay this, putting kids at risk and wasting time and money. Children must master independent prevention skills before moving on to stroke development.

Led by co-founder Karen Baildon, our program builds a strong foundation of aquatic safety, teaching children not just how to swim, but how to react and survive in real-life water situations.

Know what your child is learning, why they’re doing it, and how it could save their life.

Stroke Perfection vs Mini Squads?
Technique First!

Our approach to stroke development is different: instructors stay in the water to provide hands-on correction and support from Learn to Swim right through to junior squads.

We teach full-stroke mechanics – from head and body position to kicking, sculling, and streamlined movement – using short distances to focus on quality, not quantity.

Forget endless laps and unnecessary aids. Our goal is to build strong, confident swimmers through progressive, technique-driven teaching.

Regular 8-week assessments ensure every swimmer is improving and ready for the next level. At Superfish, it’s not about moving quickly – it’s about swimming effectively, correctly, and confidently.

It is VITAL that Babies and Young Children attend a Drowning Prevention Program until they have attained a high degree of INDEPENDENT Drowning Prevention Skills.

Serina is incredible. My son was having a meltdown not wanting to get in the pool one day and she used her own time to personally get him in the pool so the instructor could continue with the lesson for the other children and Theo wouldn’t miss out. She cheered him up and got him to complete the lesson as normal. He has really taken to her and loves swimming with her. Appreciate you Serina!
Response from the owner:We were so delighted to see this, as it is what we are all about, making your day easier and making your child feel safe.Thank you for the kind review we have shown Serina and it made her day!

We have been with Superfish Worongary since August 2022 and they have always been amazing. Warm, kind and caring. Their lessons are great and my kids know how to swim and be safe because of them. They are flexible and understa dong of different childrens needs and so willing to work with you and your child.

So grateful to the staff at Superfish Worongary. Our child has been attending classes for a year. A very nervous swimmer to start who wouldn’t put face in the water. With the wonderful Brooke and Kerryn’s experience our child is now jumping and swimming with confidence. Ms Brooke has been especially patient and understanding for a child that is busy and typically needs to keep moving. We still working on the technical aspects but the joy and fun that we have with the pool is great! Thank you to a wonderful team.

Love this swim school, great size, not too overwhelming. The system for make up lessons is easy. Staff always friendly and helpful. I love the consistency in staff - a good sign always! My daughter started swimming here as a baby and that was a wonderful experience. We did try another swim school briefly but quickly came back, Alysha is amazing with our daughter and watching her become a more confident and competent swimmer is the greatest experience. Also worth a mention is that the temperature of the water is great too, another swim school we tried was freezing and made the lessons so unpleasant. We intend to continue here for a long time!
Response from the owner:We appreciate your review 🥰

We just had a trial at super fish worongary, from the moment we stepped in the door we were greeted, shown around and was explained about the classes, our grandson was offered a trial and his trial was with Catherine and she was absolutely amazing, her teaching method was so good, she was gentle but consistent with insisting that they watch, listen & learn she was clear and connected with each child, my other grandson was watching who had a slight fear of the water was so impressed he said he feels like he could do it also and would like to get back into the water after a two year break. well done super fish, so far on just one lesson i know this is a safe environment that my grandsons will safely learn to swim, highly recommend
Response from the owner:Thank you for the beautiful review Sarah. It means a lot to our team. Thank you again x😊

We recently trialled our son (almost 3 yo) in the Flipper 1 class and was overwhelmed by the kindness and care of all staff, particularly Ms Heather, his teacher. We had taken a break from lessons at another swim school, and was sceptical about how his first lesson back at a new school would go, but Ms Heather and Kerin were so supportive toward both my son and us as parents. They tried a number of strategies to support and engage him successfully in the lesson which was very much appreciated. We're excited to see how our son grows and develops at Super Fish this year.
Response from the owner:Thank you we are so happy you found us !

We left our previous swim school due to staff changes and it was a blessing in disguise to shift over to Superfish Redland Bay. Our daughter had been having major struggles with her water confidence and from pretty much the first lesson she overcame it. Our teacher is absolutely incredible with the children taking time to assist each individual and celebrate their wins whilst still maintaining strong control of the entire class. Furthermore, the quality of lessons is invaluable, in a matter of weeks our child has learnt skills she has previously spent months working on. We only have good things to say about Superfish 🙂
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this lovely review.😊 We are so glad you are enjoying our lessons!

Our son and daughter have been going to Superfish ever since they were little. Our son has had a few tough weeks a little while ago and didn’t really enjoy himself anymore. This was picked up by Kerryn and addressed quickly and he’s now loving his lessons again. We used to go to Benowa which is very busy. We love this school because it’s smaller and more personable.
Response from the owner:Thank you Johnathan, we appreciate your kind words on our amazing passionate team!

Ms Angelique & Mr David are AMAZING instructors and both my kids wouldn't be where they are today without them both. Their approach with the kids is fantastic & even with us as parents is so appreciated. The only issue with them being so popular, is their availability.. very limited.. but its understandable ❤️ Worth the wait & time!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!! Our team care SO much & your feedback means A LOT! Thank you!😍
