Ipswich Swim Shool - Peter McMahon’s Swim Factory

Since 1992 Peter McMahon’s Swim Factory has operated an indoor swim school in Ipswich, Queensland, providing high quality swimming programmes.

The Swim Factory aims to promote swimming for lifelong health. We endeavour to make learning to swim a positive and enjoyable experience.

A Gift for Life
SWIMMING LESSONS FOR ALL AGES - From Babies to Adults

Our learn to swim programmes are focused on swimming safety and the promotion of correct technique. Students develop social skills, self confidence and experience a sense of achievement whilst enjoying swimming activities. Programmes are designed to cater for all ages.

Benefits of Continued Swimming

The Swim Factory is fortunate to be an indoor facility with two heated pools to enable its students to swim twelve months of the year. This has countless benefits to each individual including safety, muscle, cardio and pulmonary development, improved concentration, academic performance and social skills to name just a few.

In addition, it is imperative for children to continue lessons without a break to not only keep their learning curve going in the right direction, but also to ensure there is no deterioration in the confidence, technique, understanding and fitness of the student.

Unfortunately, many students who have a break from their swimming lessons either don’t improve or, as is often the case, deteriorate to such an extent they need to go into a lower level upon their return (the length of absence often dictates their deterioration level).

The financial and time investment given to the student previously is therefore wasted and their confidence and watermanship skills needs building again.

Help us to help your child reach their full potential by bringing them regularly to The Swim Factory for their swimming lessons.

pool parties

Pool Parties

What better way to celebrate your child’s birthday than to have a fun filled party at The Swim Factory.

We offer a 45 minute splash in either the large or small pool for children aged 5 years and above while the pool is for the exclusive use of the party guests. If desired, a member of staff will play games and entertain the children for thirty minutes while in the pool. Hosts can also bring their own choice of music and enjoy the seating area for an hour following the pool activities for food, drink and birthday cake.

Pool parties are available all year round on Saturday afternoons at 12.15pm and 1.15pm (start times). Please check with The Swim Factory reception for details and availability.



Adult Swimming Lessons

The Swim Factory is pleased to introduce swimming lessons for adults of all abilities.

The programme will accommodate beginners, improvers and those wishing to advance their technique and fitness. Whatever your level, we will be pleased to help progress your swimming in a relaxed and friendly environment.

If you are interested, please contact The Swim Factory Reception for further details. Group sizes and classes are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment.



Parents/Children using the Change Rooms

If you’re a father with a daughter who is too young to use the bathroom facilities by herself, please either use the male bathroom or ask at the office and one of our female staff will be happy to assist.

Please do not enter the female toilets yourself with your child.

There are also changing facilities at the rear of the building.



Swim-A-Thon

Every year we hold a Swim-A-Thon to raise money for Hospice.

This year is no exception, we will be holding it on Saturday the 15th of September.

Everyone is welcome to come along, as it is a family fun day.

We have face painting, fairy floss, special guests and lots more. So put that date in your diary and join us.



Parent Feedback

You have turned my three children around when it comes to safe water play and enjoyment of swimming. My three young kidlets only joined in early January and had no confidence with swimming. Especially my eldest who generally struggles with self esteem. Your staff are to be proud of, warm, caring, helpful and devoted. My children are warmly welcomed each week into there lessons and encouraged to always do their best. My eldest just graduated from level two to three and this is a major accomplishment for him, and to recieve a certificate immediately to show to the world was a twinkle in his eye.My junior man is wanting to do his best, because he receives a smile and sticker from his teacher! And my Princess has turned into a fish!!! Thank you so much to all your tireless efforts to allow all children to love and feel comfortable in water.

Yours Sincerely
A delighted Mum and Dad.
