    Facility

    Modern & Purpose-Built

    Dual pool facility, with a 25m competition pool – and underfloor heating!

    Unlike learning to swim in public pools, our private pools mean your “mini-me” will be away from the pressure and distractions of large crowds, noisy water slides and busy play areas.

    The 25m pool can be divided into sections of various lengths and depths. Keeping your child challenged and, whilst in the beginner stages, still feeling safe because they’ll always be within touching distance of their teacher. 

    The 25m pool is also designed to keep children moving in the water, learning through experience. Minimising the time they sit at the edge of the pool watching, although still learning through observing.

    Programs

    Let’s Start A Swim Journey

    Learn to love & respect the water

    From as early as 6 months and never too late to start. 

    You can book now, into any class scheduled within the next 7 days that has a vacant spot. No need to wait for next term to enrol. Classes run throughout the year, including school holidays.

    Your direct debit payment only commits you to one full month of swimming. Once a month’s payment has been processed, we don’t offer refunds. If you don’t want swimming lessons to continue the following month, let us know in writing, prior to the last day of the month.

    No joining, cancellation or recurring admin fees

    The price you see is the price you pay. No hidden fees.

    They’ve just cleaned out some rather ‘undedicated’ staff…the coaches and staff now are clearly showing more interest in the students and actually coaching and are trying to improve stroke styles. Management taking initiative. Good to see
    Response from the owner: Thanks for the review. We’re glad you’ve noticed the renewed focus and energy from our team. We’re committed to continuous improvement and appreciate your support along the way. – Aquabliss Customer Care
    Good class size and great quality teachers at the moment. Our children enjoy the classes and are challenged and encouraged to keep getting better. Stroke development is a high priority before progressing.
    Response from the owner: Thanks for the lovely feedback. We’re so glad your children are thriving and enjoying their lessons — stroke development is a key focus for us, and it’s great to see that reflected in your experience – Aquabliss Customer Care
    Good facility, always clean. Slow progress in every level, you have to make the teacher test them or they sit in one level for a year doing the same thing every week. They don’t push them to progress at all.
    Response from the owner: Thanks for your feedback. We’re glad you’re happy with the facility and cleanliness. Just to clarify — our teachers & supervisors assess students continuously and progress them when they’re ready, based on demonstrated skill readiness, not time spent. We’re always happy to discuss progress, feel free to reach out – Aquabliss Customer Care
    Response from the owner: Thanks for your 5 star review! – Aquabliss Customer Care

    Our experience at the swim centre has been fantastic, especially with our instructor Trish. She is organised, consistent, and friendly, which makes every lesson enjoyable. Trish always provides helpful feedback after each session, allowing us to see clear progress in our one year old’s swimming skills. The lessons are well-structured and run smoothly, keeping my baby engaged and excited to learn. I highly recommend this swim centre for anyone looking for quality lessons for their little ones!
    Response from the owner: Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear your experience has been so positive and that Trish’s dedication is making such a difference.

    Highly recommend Aquabliss Mittagong!The team here are absolutely fantastic — friendly, professional, and so patient with the kids. My two have both grown so much in confidence since starting lessons, and the instructors make learning to swim fun while keeping the focus on safety and good technique. The facility is always clean, warm, and well organised, and the class sizes are just right for each child to get personal attention.It’s clear the staff genuinely care about the children’s progress, and the communication with parents is always easy and helpful. We’ve had such a positive experience and look forward to lessons every week.

    My two children are products of Frensham Aquabliss having attended from 2-8 years old. Steadily progressing through all the stages and into the ‘big pool’. Thank you to all the coaches who have helped over the years. We are very happy customers with two kids who we know will be able to get out of trouble if they ever needed to!
    Response from the owner: Thank you Tracy for your 5 star review and kind words!-The Aquabliss Team
    We are so happy with our lessons at Aquabliss. We have been coming for 6 years and our children have enjoyed all their lessons and have become skilled swimmers. The communication is great. The team are all really friendly and great with the kids. Thank you to Liz and the team.
    Response from the owner: Thank you Tamara, that’s so great to hear your children are all skilled little swimmers now! We always appreciate feedback like this, I will be sure to pass this on to our team.-The Aquabliss Team

    Great place for swimming lessons. 🏊‍♀️
    Response from the owner: Hi Anita, thank you for your supportive comment! – The Aquabliss Team
    Couldn’t be happier with my experience of changing swim schools and committing to squad lessons, for my daughter, at Aquabliss Mittagong. This facility is a pleasure to attend. It is clean, well coordinated, the shower facilities are great and all staff are professional, polite and care for the well being of users of the pool. Both my daughter and myself appreciate the sense of inclusiveness and the sophisticated manner in which the business is run. The swim instructors focus on all kids – not just the popular ones or the ones whose parents are more beneficial to flatter. The swim instructors constantly provide feedback. Sometimes it’s the same feedback over and over again until a child gets the stroke or task right – this is ok – feedback needs to be reinforced and it’s great that the teachers do this. Every single lesson my daughter improves and the patience and commitment of the teachers is appreciated. The teachers can change from time to time due to unforeseen circumstances but this is a good thing because it gives my daughter and other kids, instruction from a different perspective. My daughter is mainly instructed by Jenny. She is INCREDIBLE. She picks up on things (health and swimming related) that no one else has ever picked up on about my daughter. What Jenny teaches in a single lesson, my daughter would not receive this instruction in a year at other facilities. Jenny is constantly yelling words of encouragement, tips on how to perfect strokes and constructive criticism/feedback. I don’t mean “yelling” in a bad way – she is doing her best and straining her voice so as to enable the kids to hear her whilst they are in the water swimming. She keeps such a close eye on the kids and also takes the time to address behaviours if the kids aren’t working well or are distracted or are just slacking off because maybe they need a break. All of the teachers and admin staff that I’ve chatted with are great and each brings something different to the centre. The kids are worked hard but there is always an element of fun and laughter to be heard. It’s great to see the kids being able to laugh at themselves as they progress through each lesson. It’s nice that the teachers and parents can have a giggle too. This is a very supportive environment for kids to “learn how to swim well” in and…as a bonus…the kids attending all seem to be good sports and they look out for each other. Attending Aquabliss is like a breath of fresh air. I enjoy taking my daughter there and she enjoys being there. Even on the days when she is tired and just wants to go home, at the end of the lesson she gets out of the pool and she feels great after the effort and progress that she has made. Win win.
    Response from the owner: What a review Kim! Thank you so much, we always appreciate the feedback. We will be sure to forward this on to our amazing team at Mittagong.The Aquabliss Team
    My girls have progressed well with Aquabliss. Liz B. is a wonderful teacher, very kind but strict, which my kids needed.
    Response from the owner: Hi Angela, thank you for the 5 star review! We always appreciate such positive feedback about our amazing instructors.The Aquabliss Team
    Liz B has been incredible for our two boys. Especially growing our eldest sons confidence in the pool. Highly recommend!
    Response from the owner: That’s fantastic to hear Romy! Recommendation is the best compliment you can give.The Aquabliss Team
    My girls both love Aquabliss Frensham… my eldest since becoming a Jellyfish has been swimming with Cheryl, who has been fantastic with her. She realises that all children learn at different rates and respond to different trigger words and methods of teaching, so has adapted her teaching to suit her students.My youngest has been swimming with Liz B since she was a tadpole (now a starfish) she absolutely loves swimming lessons (as long as they are with Liz). Liz is absolutely wonderful with her as well…All other teachers we have had association with (Liz F Ashley, Pip, Trish, Elise) have also been wonderful with the girls…I am so happy we found Aquabliss Frensham, after having issues with another swim school
    The staff and management are just wonderful, they go way above and beyond…Liz B has helped my autistic son go from being in fear of the water to strong and confident, she also helped my daughter after and before her spinal fusion. The general and genuine, support, care, ongoing concern, understanding and effort make you feel less like a client and more like family…
    Response from the owner: Hi Vicki, we value your kids’ achievements just as much as you do, and are honoured to be a small part of their journey! Thanks for your beautiful review.The Aquabliss Team
    My three and four year old are loving their weekly lessons at Aquabliss. The pool is beautiful with lots of natural light and the instructors are patient, fun and calm which has resulted in impressive progress for them both. Hats off to all involved!!!
