What our swim school promises

At Rackley Swimming North Shore Townsville, we LOVE teaching kids how to swim. We provide a professional service and use research-based methods to teach your child how to be safer in and around the water. And then we add a splash of song, some playful games, and a lot of energy to make our lessons fun and engaging for your child. Everyone learns better when they’re having fun!

At Rackley Swimming North Shore Townsville we can help your child progress from basic water safety to mastering strokes. Our teachers love to see your little ones become confident swimmers and learn those all-important out of water skills like determination and socialisation.
