Meet Gina

My swim programs are more than just the basics. I believe it’s a combination of actions that lead to safer decision making around water.

Welcome to Gina’s Swim School

We are a boutique swim school located in Coolum Beach and run by Gina Baruch. Gina is a highly qualified swim instructor with over 20 years of experience. Our classes are taught in a nurturing environment and each child’s needs are considered in order to maximise their learning experience.

Advantages of small swim class sizes in a boutique swim school:

your child will learn progressive swimming skills
quiet environment in which children can focus and learn without interruptions
your child will be able to take better instruction from their swim teacher
more personalised swim programs that allow your child to learn at their own pace.

What our parents say:

  We’re so grateful to have all 3 of our children of such a young age be taught important swimming skills along with the importance of water safety. Gina has a real passion for what she is teaching and our children are always asking when we’re going to ‘Gina’s pool’.

  Small classes, personalised support, Gina has created a safe and caring environment for children to learn to swim. After 1 year my 4yo is a confident swimmer and we are so grateful to Gina!

  I highly recommend Gina's swim school. My daughter, (now 3.5), has been going weekly since she was 4 months old and we could not be happier. I can only echo what all the other rave reviews on here have already said. Highly professional & extremely experienced. We love the great pool and the small class sizes, which gives the students quality tuition.

  Gina taught our two eldest children from a young age and they are now very confident in the water. We were so happy with her that we have returned 6 years later with our youngest twins. They did not have the same opportunity to start early swimming lessons and were not confident in the water. Gina went out of her way to ensure they were in a great environment that suited their ability and confidence. The facilities are great and the small classes ensures they get the attention they needed. Thank you Gina.

  My 3 children (5yrs, 3yrs, 10mth) have all been taught by Gina and they are all so confident in the water. Gina does a lot of focus on water safety in and out of the pool which is so important. Classes are very small so each one gets a lot of one-on-one attention. The Ozone pool is also very sensitive skin/eczema friendly. Highly recommend Gina!

  We started Gina’s swim school when my boy was just one, and I wished we had started sooner! We have absolutely loved our time there and can’t see ourselves stopping any time soon. We love that the classes are small in size which makes it much easier for my little one to focus and learn. Gina highly prioritises swim safety alongside teaching swim skills, and makes swimming fun! As a mother of a busy boy who isn’t scared of much, this has been a major highlight for us. The progress in his swimming ability and confidence over the past 8 months has been amazing to witness. He absolutely adores Gina and gets very excited when we talk about swimming lessons each week. Thank you Gina for a wonderful and positive first swimming experience, we cannot thank you enough! We have been so impressed with Gina’s swim school and would happily recommend to anyone starting their little one in swimming lessons!

  We love our weekly swim lessons with Gina. She is extremely organised and welcoming. Her unique ozone pool is clean and warm + we don’t have to shower after our lessons which is a bonus with a baby!

  My two daughters (1&3) have been attending Gina’s Blue Water Babies for around a year now and we have been very impressed with the service Gina offers. Both girls are excited to do swimming lessons each week and have grown in confidence immensely. I like that the lessons are structured, planned and change each week. We highly recommend Gina's swim school.

  We love Gina’s swim school! My son has been going for over a year now since 5 months old. He is so confident in the water and knows how to be safe around water already! Gina is an excellent teacher and so great with the kids 😃 Highly recommend!
