After trying several swim schools, we were starting to lose hope, especially with our daughter, who was absolutely terrified of the water. None of the other places seemed to care. It felt like a numbers game, rushing kids through lessons with no real attention or understanding. Every session ended in tears, and we weren’t getting anywhere.
Then we found Pat Taylor Swim School and everything changed.
We enrolled both our daughter and our son at the same time. From the very first lesson, the difference was clear. The coaches were patient, kind, and genuinely cared. They got in the water with the kids, helping them feel safe and supported. For our daughter, that made all the difference. The tears stopped. Slowly, her confidence grew, and now she absolutely loves the water.
Our son, who was 3.5 at the time, started lessons with Coach Mark and has been training with him ever since. Over the years, Mark has helped him build strong technique, discipline, and a real love for swimming. That same little boy is now competing at state level competitions and still proudly trains with Mark. His progress has been incredible, and it all comes back to the solid foundation laid at the start.
Our youngest has just begun lessons now, and we’re already seeing that same thoughtful, hands-on approach.
What makes Pat Taylor Swim School truly stand out is their focus on proper technique and individual progress. The coaches are in the water, working closely with the kids, not just observing from the side. They’re not about ticking boxes or pushing through numbers. They care, they teach well, and they get results.
We’re so grateful we found them, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pat Taylor Swim School to any family looking for a place that truly supports their children’s growth in the water.

My daughter started learning to swim at this school, and after three years, we are still thrilled with her progress. She now glides through the water, freestyles, does dolphin kicks, back swimming, and dives!
Marc and his crew, especially Toby, have been fantastic. They are patient and excellent teachers who take the time to explain and demonstrate techniques. The small class sizes allow for individual coaching, making each lesson enjoyable and effective.
We couldn’t be happier with her progress and the fun she’s having!

We can’t recommend Mark and his team enough! Our children have attended Pat Taylor for the past seven years, and have always had such a wonderful experience. Mark is amazing at helping each child individually, and focuses not just on stroke correction and technique, but stamina, diving and racing as well.

My three children take swimming lessons at Pat Taylor, and we absolutely love it. The whole team is so kind, supportive, and really invested in helping the children feel confident and make progress. They challenge them just enough, always in a positive and encouraging way. Highly recommend!

We have been coming to Pat Taylor Swim School on and off for 4 years. We started here because of the location, but found the actual pool was ideal for my youngest child who started off lessons quite scared. Being able to walk into the water via the ramp is a real benefit.
We have had most teachers and can’t fault them. They have the perfect amount of fun and firmness when needed.
Mark is very passionate about swimming and thinks outside the box when teaching the kids, ensuring they understand what he is showing/ explaining.
Overall, great pool, great teachers, good location.

Our son (13) has been coached by Mark for the last year. Two seasons of waterpolo ruined his swim technique and Mark quickly got him right! The sessions were focussed and every minute was used with hands on, engaged coaching by Mark himself. We’ve just done school squad trials and received glowing comments on our son’s technique! Added to this, for the first time, he smashed it at swim carnival and placed 1st or 2nd in each heat! This for a kid that had no interest in competitive swimming! Thank you Mark!!!

I can’t recommend Mark and his team at Pat Taylor’s Swim School highly enough. Their expertise and effective teaching techniques, particularly in stroke correction, are outstanding. Both my daughters have been attending for several years, and it’s incredible to see how much they’ve progressed – they’re now excelling in mini squad!
The pool being heated year-round is a big bonus, especially during winter, and the clean facilities and ample parking make the whole experience even better.

I have been going to Pat Taylor swim school for over 17 years now, taking my four children to swim every week from when they were 6 months old to their teenage years. It’s a wonderful swimming school, with a love for children and a passion to teach them solid swimming techniques. My 4 kids are great swimmers now, and I feel extremely safe when we go anywhere next to water (friends’ pool, dam at a farm, beaches). Well done and thank you Mark @ Pat Taylor Swim School! Keep up the good work 😄
