Running a small business on top of entertaining six children in the afternoon means Leanne doesn’t have time to fight with her children about doing something they don’t enjoy. ”The great thing about swimming here is that the children look forward to coming.

Please contact the Swim School to make an appointment for a swimming assessment. n Telephone: (02) 9351 8735 Email: swimschool@sport. usyd.edu.au
