"I love this swim school so much!. I’ve tried several for my kids in Brisbane over the years and Stanford is the best! The instructors are so caring, extremely knowledgeable and very professional. The desk staff are so friendly and accomodating. It has such a family vibe every time you walk in, and the staff know your and your kids names. My daughter started there at 2 and was terrified of the water. The instructors have been very patient with her, and now 2.5 years later she has moved up several levels, loves swimming and is so confident. I cannot recommend Stanford Manly West, and Stanford swim schools, as a whole enough! Special shoutouts to Ruby (both Rubys!), Kiera, Bronwyn and Laura !!!”
'The entire team is amazing and great with kids. My two daughters look forward to their weekly lessons and have gained a huge boost in water confidence. My youngest, who is 3, was shy and timid at first, but she’s come a long way. Adrianna has been outstanding, and my youngest daughter is now comfortable and enjoying being in the water, improving every week. The lessons are fun and engaging. My other daughter has grown a huge love for swimming (5yrs) and has improved on technique and absolutely loves her swimming lessons and super proud how far she has come!! Thank you to the Stanford Springwood team! 🫶🏻”
"We couldn't be happier with Stanford Swim School - Sunnybank Hills! After trying three other swim schools, we finally found the perfect fit. Simon and his team are incredibly professional, skilled, and genuinely care about each child's progress. My daughter is always excited to attend her swimming lessons every week, and it's been amazing to watch her confidence grow in the water. Her swimming skills have improved tremendously, and it's all thanks to the team's patience, encouragement, and expert instruction. The care and attention they give to every child make all the difference. It's clear they are passionate about helping kids learn to swim safely and confidently. If you're looking for high-quality swimming lessons in Sunnybank Hills, I highly recommend Stanford Swim School!”
