Learn to swim with Gippsland's leading swim school

Paul Myers and Dylan Muir at Age Nationals on the Gold Coast in 2024

The best swimming lessons in Drouin, Sale and Warragul.

Welcome to Baw Baw Swim School. Head coaches Paul Myers and Dylan Muir lead the Baw Baw swim schools in Drouin and Sale, with a Warragul location coming soon.

Baw Baw Swim School is the best place for Gippsland kids to learn to swim. We foster a love of swimming that will last a lifetime.

What makes Baw Baw Swim School different from other schools?

Our mission extends beyond producing skilled swimmers. We cultivate lifelong swimmers who embrace it as a vital life skill.

Swimming fosters focus and dedication in kids. Swimming benefits their academic performance and enriches their adult lives.

Baw Baw Swim School offers swimming lessons for all ages, from toddlers as young as three to adults. Our teaching philosophy starts with instilling respect for water and then fosters a love for it. We empower children to build confidence and respect for water, equipping them with essential skills to enhance their safety and enjoyment.

Unlike other swim schools, we don’t make students wait until the end of a term to advance. As soon as children are ready, we promote them to the next level. We ensure they are always challenged and motivated.

A low student-to-teacher ratio means your child gets focused attention. This personalised guidance reduces idle time. It lets children progress through the levels at a pace that suits them, not the group. 

Our instructors are both competent and kind. They're dedicated to helping your child become a safe swimmer with the confidence to explore a diverse range of water activities.

Baw Baw Swim School also offers coaching at regional, state, and national levels through local swim clubs. If competitive swimming interests your child, we can see their potential and move them into a competitive training environment.

We empower children to build confidence and respect for water, equipping them with essential skills to enhance their safety and enjoyment.

  • Couldn't be happier with the way our kids have transitioned from swimming lessons to squad. Great teachers and a fantastic culture. There is genuine care here, and I highly recommend them.

  • Can’t wipe the smiles off my kids faces during lessons. Instructors do an amazing job at making lessons relaxed and fun while also teaching the skills the kids need.

  • All of the swim teachers are FANTASTIC!!! I can not recommended them highly enough!!! My kids struggled to concentrate at the local pool, because they could see other kids playing. It makes life so much easier to take my kids to a pool where everyone is doing lessons. No whinging about staying after for a swim, as it's not an option. 10 out of 10!!!!!!!
