About Our Swim School

Our Story

At Aquanat Swim School, water is more than just a place to learn swimming — it’s where our family has always found connection, peace, freedom, and joy.

As a family-run swim school in Perth, we bring that passion and care into everything we do.

Founded by Anat Juran, Aquanat grew from her lifelong love of water and her unique path as both a competitive swimming coach and a therapist working in warm water. Over the years, Anat realised that swimming lessons could be so much more than technique and strokes — they could nurture confidence, foster resilience, and create meaningful bonds between parents, children, and the water itself.

Her daughter Adaya joined the journey, carrying forward the same values she grew up with. For Adaya, water has always been a place of imagination and freedom — a gift passed down by her mum: "Water, for me, is a place of peace, balance, wellness — it’s where I feel most alive and calm. Thanks to my mum sharing her passion and knowledge with me, water has always been a place of joy, fun, and imagination. Through Aquanat, I’m proud that we help others experience this magic too.”

Our family’s story doesn’t end there. Sharon, Anat’s daughter-in-law, is now a dedicated swim teacher at Aquanat. Having guided her own three daughters to become confident, free, and joyful “mermaids” from a young age, Sharon now shares her warmth and experience with other families in the pool.

Behind the scenes, Anat’s son Shaked provides IT and technology support, keeping everything running smoothly.

And none of this would be possible without Anat’s husband Yuval, whose quiet dedication ensures our hydrotherapy pool is always maintained to the highest standards — clean, safe, and silky soft for every swimmer.

Together, we are proud to create a swim school that truly feels like home — a place where families are welcomed, supported, and inspired to discover the lifelong magic of water.

Our Wider Team -->

Alongside our family members, we’re proud to have a small, carefully chosen team of instructors, practitioners and aquatic educators. Each one brings their own experience and heart – and all share the same commitment to calm, respectful, high-quality aquatic education and therapy.

What We Stand For

We believe learning should feel good. Children learn best when they feel safe, relaxed, and free to explore.

We believe in whole-person aquatic education. Not just “kicking and bubbles” — but body awareness, confidence, coordination, imagination, and trust.

We believe in real connection. Our lessons are small, quiet, and personal. We know every child by name.

We believe water teaches beyond swimming. Resilience. Joy. Bonding. Freedom. Self-trust.

We believe families deserve a calm space. No crowds, no noise, no conveyor belts. Just warm water, presence, and mindful teaching.

That’s why our approach blends many disciplines — Alexander Technique, Tai Chi, Feldenkrais, Montessori philosophy, Halliwick Method, child development theories, attachment theory, trauma-informed therapeutic approaches, and Aquatic Bodywork & Therapies.

Drawing from these approaches helps us tailor each lesson or therapy session to the needs of every individual. We consider each swimmer’s unique learning style, strengths, and state of being on any given day, helping them find their own enjoyable and sustainable way of moving in the water.

What Makes Our Swim School a Top Choice?

Most swim schools look the same from the outside — but parents tell us:

"My child is overwhelmed by noise."

"My baby hates cold water.”

“We don’t want fear-based learning.”

“We need a space where our child’s needs are understood.”

Children deserve more than just surviving in water. They deserve to thrive in it.

That’s why every part of Aquanat is intentionally designed:

34–35 °C hydrotherapy pool.
One class at a time.
Highly trained instructors.
Developmentally informed teaching.
A calm and friendly environment.
A team who truly cares.

Why is our pool unique?

We carefully created a special and magical space in Alfred Cove, Perth, where our clients and students can let go of everyday stress and focus on learning and wellbeing.

That’s why we operate in a dedicated, purpose-built hydrotherapy pool, accessible only to our students and families. Here, you can learn without distraction in a peaceful space, with individualised programs designed just for you.

We pay careful attention to every detail to enhance your experience:

Maintaining water temperature at 34–35℃ year-round.
Ensuring fresh airflow with warm, natural lighting.
Providing comfortable changing rooms and warm showers.
Using advanced sanitation and filtration systems for clear, healthy, odourless water that is gentle on the skin, eyes, and nose.
Creating a family-friendly, spa-like space that instantly calms the body and mind and tells children: this is a place for fun and comfort.

The Results Speak for Themselves...

Today, over hundreds of families and individuals have experienced the difference:

Babies relax, float, giggle, and dive with joy.
Toddlers develop confidence and body awareness.
Kids overcome fear in their own time — without pressure.
Parents bond deeply with their children in the water.
Adults rediscover ease, movement, and trust in their own bodies.
And therapists from around the world and from across Australia come to Aquanat to train in aquatic therapy with us through AIAB.
