More About Us...
Aquanat is a family owned boutique swim school based in Alfred Cove and Mosman Park, Perth, Western Australia.
We are passionate about what we do. We believe teaching is more than just giving instruction, it is about tuning in to the needs of each individual, and creating meaningful relationships and connection with our clients, in and out of the pool.
Our teachers are highly trained, are Austswim certified, hold Working with Children Checks, are trained in CPR, and have backgrounds in a range of therapeutic practices.
Consistency matters to us, and unless unavoidable, you will see the same teacher and the same faces each week throughout your enrolment with us.
We offer small, intimate group classes as well as one on one swimming, held in dedicated private indoor teaching pools - not general public swimming facilities.
Our pools are indoors and are heated to 34-35°C all year round at private by-appointment-only centres, creating a warm, relaxing learning environment, with water quality carefully cared for to maintain high levels of health and sanitation.
Our Alfred Cove centre was designed and created
with focus on utilising passive energy for airflow, soft natural lighting, and spa-like fixtures to foster a calming and welcoming environment that's unique in Perth.
Our teaching is inspired by different techniques and philosophies, among which are the Halliwick method, Alexander technique, Tai chi, Feldenkrais, Montessori method, and Aquatic Bodywork & Therapies.
These methods help us tailor swimming lessons and therapy sessions to the needs of each of our students and clients. We consider each individual’s unique learning style, strengths and state of being on every given day, in helping every client find their own easy and enjoyable swimming approach.
From the minute you contact us and throughout your lessons or sessions with us you can expect personal and warm attention.
Lessons are tailored to all ages and any level of experience. Whether you’re a beginner, a confident swimmer or someone who feels anxious about swimming, we can help you feel safe and joy in the water, and excited about your next swimming lesson!
Start from as young as 10 weeks old! Our Baby and Parents Swimming Lessons are designed to foster joyful experiences in the water, with only one class in the pool at a time, your little one will develop aquatic competency!

Aquatic Therapy
What is Aquatic Therapy?
During the first nine months of our life in our mother’s womb we are suspended in warm liquid. Indeed many of us describe the feeling of a dip in hot springs as returning to the womb.
Being in warm water is a pleasant feeling for most people - a sense of relaxation and weightlessness that spreads over the body and soul.
Immersion in water has many healing properties that positively impact our mood and help promote wellbeing, which in turn can improve our quality of life.
Aquatic therapies such as Watsu®, Healing Dance®, and Waterdance® are forms of bodywork that combine the therapeutic effects of warm water, with caring and professionally informed movement and touch.
The weightlessness afforded by aquatic therapy makes it suitable and possible for people of all physical abilities.
Aquatic bodywork therapies are designed to help with various health conditions, both physical and mental.
After having an aquatic therapy session, clients reported experiencing reduced stress and anxiety, reduced pain, better sleep, a positive outlook towards themselves and life, among other various health improvements.
Experiencing even just one session can leave you with a sense of heightened wellbeing, with benefits and positive health outcomes increased with every subsequent session.
Aquanat's skilled aquatic therapists can help relieve pain, promote relaxation, improve flexibility, mobilise joints, strengthen muscles, rehabilitate injuries, all of which can improve general wellbeing.
