McMillan's Aquatic Centre (MAC's)

“Swimming at Mac's is so much more than just swimming. Not only did our son become a proficient and confident swimmer but he learnt so many other life skills that he uses in every day life. These are persistence, resilience, comradery, humility, friendship, confidence, taking feedback, and just generally being a great human. I credit the safe and encouraging environment at Macs for so much of that. We will always be grateful. Thank you Blair, Karen and the team.”

“We have had two boys go all the way through Mac's and we are so pleased we have taken them there. The lessons are well structured, challenging and fun. My younger boy, who was mucking around in council run lessons has been fully focused and engaged and made such progress, now ready to start racing and he just loves his swimming. Thanks so much Blair and Karen for all your care, we will miss coming in each week.”

“Blair and his team provide my children with a great platform for a life long love of swimming. They undertake a planned approach, teaching children in stages, allowing them to move on to the next class only once they have mastered the necessary skills in the stage they are in. The emphasis on the skill of swimming - the 'process' rather than the 'outcome' allows the children to learn at their own pace, build load and feel a great sense of accomplishment. Our daughter moved through the classes at Bumblebees, then on to Macs Swim School. Now she is involved in squad swimming one night a week, and wanting to do more. She may never swim competitively, but the sense of accomplishment she gets from performing her swimming well and in lowering previous swim test times is something that we treasure. While other swim schools may follow a similar formula, the quality, experience and manner of teaching is outstanding. I highly recommend MAC'S to any parent considering swimming for their children.”
