Bryony G
Can’t recommended this swim school enough! All 3 of my children have attended and they love it! My son who never swan before he was 3 due to health issues Is super confident in the water just after 6 months of lessons! Thank you to the team at water ponyz merriwa especially to Dana, Chelsea and Sasha!
Audrey Yardley
I have been going to the aqua fitness classes with Daria, she is just amazing, the classes are so much fun. I am also having adult swimming lessons with Daria which have given me so much more confidence.. very happy with the classes and support
Natasha da Silva
Fantastic, friendly, welcoming, and a good workout!
Tara Nugent
My son is on his second class and I could not be happier with how the swim school approach swimming with 4 year olds. Rather than repetitive classes focusing on technique, they teach them survival skills as well as correct form. The scenarios of what to do if they fell in the pool, certainly leave parents with peace of mind. Best decision to move to Water Ponyz!
Maria Catterick
Fabulous swim school. We have gone to the ladies aquafit led by Daria. Lovely pool, lovely sessions, easy to park, and centrally located. Have fun while you get fit.
John Sharkey
None of my kids could swim and it started affecting my daughters confidence in school. Within no time she was doing freestyle and we noticed how high her swimming technique is and her confidence now is. My son wouldn’t put his head under water at all and within a few lessons he was putting his head underwater grabbing rings and kicking. I recommend this swim school very highly.
Sandra Madovi
My son was overdue for an upgrade to level 2 and Yvette offered to open up a class for my son as there were no available classes as all were fully booked and Kelly was helpful in setting it up. The flexibility and always willing to help attitude was highly commendable. Kelly and Yvette you guys are amazing!!
Joe Camilleri
In just one lesson my kid’s confidence improved. It’s a credit to the staff and the facility. We’re looking forward to regular lessons here. The kids love it Edit. The school was good, but they shut down due to covid, and we moved away during that time. Now that I’m asking for a refund for the lessons I paid for but can never use they’ve stopped returning my calls
Pauline Burnett
Great atmosphere and friendly swimming teachers! (Big shout out to Tanya and Jake). Our tiddler loves lessons and we look forward to going every week.
Rels Bells
Amazing aerobics instructor. Works with everyone at their level and caters for people with intellectual and psychiatric disabilities. Best instructor that I’ve experienced in my career. The rest of the staff are welcoming and kind. Recommend to anyone at any fitness level 😎😁
Rikki Wright
Harrison has been swimming at the swim school since about 5 or 6 months old. His teacher Sacha has now been awarded the best infant and pre school swim teacher in the state. It was not always easy but thanks to Sacha, Harrison has progressed further than I ever thought possible for his age. I am sad that in just 2 months we will be moving up and he will be swimming without me, but so very proud.
John H
My kids have been attending the school for nearly 9 years now. The venue doesn’t do justice to the people. 5 stars for the people and the teaching.
