C.H.O.P. SWIM SCHOOL

Coffs Harbour Olympic Pool or C.H.O.P. as it is known has swimming programs to suit everyone. AUSTSWIM certified instructors teach a balance of water confidence, aquatic survival and swimming skills in a safe and friendly environment. Class sizes are kept small to ensure you and/or your child receive the best quality tuition.

C.H.O.P. Swim School offers lessons for all ages from 6 months to adults. As your children progress through our Learn to Swim levels they have an opportunity to join Coffs Harbour Amateur Swimming Club. The club offers your children the opportunity to put the skills that they are learning to the test through our regular club meetings on a Friday night. Our younger Club members race over 25 metres, while our more experienced swimmers race up to 400 meters.

All Swim School staff are AUSTSWIM and CPR qualified according to Australian qualification and insurance regulations. They regularly attend training courses to remain up to date with swim teaching information.

ENROLMENTS AND ADMISSIONS

Bookings should be made at the Swim School reception area.
