Thank you for choosing Marlins. We trust that your time with us will be positive and rewarding.
We strongly believe that all children will develop to their full potential through the positive guidance of our fully accredited, caring and professional swimming instructors.
The Gentle Swim School
Gentle swim teaching is the positive and gentle approach to helping children get comfortable with the water and develop positive swimming skills. By incorporating positive language and implementing gentle learning principles, we create a safe, positive environment in which children can explore and learn. This positive approach teaches children at a pace which is compatible with their nature, allowing them to discover and explore the joys of swimming in a supportive environment free from fear or stress.With this method it is not about achieving perfection, but rather learning the basics and feeling positive about taking part and having fun. Together with positive encouragement, safety measures in the water, and life skills such as listening, waiting for turns, paying attention and following instructions are emphasised. These positive qualities allow for long-term success in all aspects of life.Our aim is to foster a lifelong connection with the aquatic world.

Our Rural View Facility
Everything you need to know before your first visit to our Mackay swim school.
The Pool
A fully indoor, heated pool held at 32 degrees year round. Being indoors means lessons are never cancelled for weather, and the warm water lets children relax instead of tensing up against the cold.
Parking & Access
On-site parking at 32 Arana Drive, with pram-friendly access from the car park through to the pool deck and change rooms.
Watching Your Child
Family and friends are welcome to watch from the spectator area. Weekends are our busiest sessions, so seating is more limited — weekday afternoons are quieter if you would like more room.
Change Rooms
Family change rooms are available, along with warm showers. In cooler months we ask that you dress children warmly before leaving the centre.
