Mermaid Swim Academy (Joanna)

It would be truthful to say that children get individualised attention from Joanna, the mermaid, at this swim academy, it would also be true to say that the small class sizes (2 for my 4 year old's class) add to the pace of  learning, it would also be true to say that there is no risk of ear infections (unlike germy, steamy, over-chlorinated indoor pools), but the real reason you're going to sign up for this swim programme is that you get to hang at the best pool on earth while your kids do the lessons.  Whether it's grabbing a coffee at the Crabbe Hole or having a dip yourself in the grown-up pool you'll feel guilty you have it so good.  Pity the mere mortals stuck indoors in noisy, germ-ridden overcrowded pools.  It's summer in Sydney - this is god's own swim school - enjoy!
