At PalmerSwim, I believe that every child’s journey in the water should be joyful, nurturing, and confidence-building. With a calm, supportive approach, our classes are designed to give babies and children the best possible start in their swimming journey, helping them feel safe, happy, and excited to explore the water.

About Me - Carryn Palmer

I have been part of the swimming industry for over 20 years and have always had a passion for teaching babies and children to swim. As a mum of two (aged 3 and 6), I know how important those early water experiences are — fun fact, I even taught my youngest to swim in the bath!

I am dedicated to making early water experiences special and I love watching your little ones grow in confidence and enjoyment each week.
