GEELONG WEST
Tri Swimming - 12 Maitland St, Geelong West Vic 3218. Ph 03 5222 7455
This little centre is wonderful! Hidden away in the back of Geelong West, it only has two classes in the pool at one time. Focuses on babies and young children.
No website, so you need to call or visit. Tend to have a waiting list, especially for weekends. But worth it if you live locally.
Classes run with school terms. Each lesson is around 30 minutes
