Gina's Blue Water Babies Swim School

Gina's Blue Water Babies is a boutique swim school in Coolum Beach, known for its small, calm and nurturing learn-to-swim classes. Run by owner and instructor Gina Baruch, the school has built a loyal following among local families who return year after year, with some children swimming here from just a few weeks old.

The focus goes well beyond the basics. Alongside age-appropriate swimming skills, every lesson weaves in water safety and survival skills, helping children build genuine confidence and respect for the water. Songs, games and a gentle, personal approach keep the experience fun, while Gina's two decades of teaching experience reassure parents that their little ones are in expert hands.

With programs suited to babies from six weeks through to prep-aged children, the school is ideal for new parents wanting an early, supportive introduction to swimming, as well as families seeking consistent, high-quality lessons in a heated, accredited pool. The intimate class sizes mean each child is genuinely known and progresses at their own pace in a warm, encouraging environment.
