Col Jones Swim School at Hurstville started operating in 1973. The business founders, Col and Ann Jones both have a background in education, teaching, as well as competitive sport. Their passion was to provide a local swim school for children of the St George area. Their desire was to have a family business with strong educational values as well as providing a professional service.
This philosophy still remains today as the backbone of the organisation's culture. The Col Jones family is certainly growing. We now have parents who were past students bringing their children in for lessons. In 1997 another Col Jones centre was opened in Tempe delivering lessons to the children of the inner west.

We used to go elsewhere where the instructors were just going through the motions. We came to Col Jones Hurstville on a friend's recommendation. After the first lesson we knew we'd found the place for us. The instructors are fantastic, friendly, good with the kids and provide good instruction. Definitely not just going through the motions. Our daughter made more improvement here in a few lessons than a whole year at the other place. I highly recommend this place.

However, comfort lies with the overall high standard of their swimming instructors. Hope they will keep that up. I can understand why some would prefer a

Wonderful place for swimming lessons. It's a pool dedicated to learning to swim. You can't just rock up and have a splash. You can't just rock up to learn to swim either... This place is busy.

The staff are fantastic from there front desk to instructors to the bosses (the ones in the red shirts). They are all great with
