The Broom Swim School site is closed, however we are now operating “On Tour”, with BABY – TODDLER – PRE SCHOOL and AFTER SCHOOL lessons being offered at multiple other local pools! Established in 1986 by Sallie Walters and Gillian Burden, Broom was one of the first private swim schools in the country, and 31 years on is still a thriving hub within the community. Situated in a beautiful, inviting log cabin, the pool is 11m x 5m, and 1.2m deep all over. The water temp is 31.5 and air temp 33.5 C. Plentiful and free car parking. No membership fees.
