“We only have positive experience with healthways mont albert. My eldest love her swimming lessons, both kids have so much fun at school holiday program with swiming, ten pin bowling and arts. The owners are beautiful people, they are hands on, caring, understanding and friendly. You can see that they carefully selected the swim coaches. They are all passionate with what they do and care about each child's learning. You feel good coming here.”

“My ~4 year old has been doing swimming lessons here for quite a while now, the instructors are phenomenal. He is with Jordie on Sundays at the moment, who has greater capacity to entertain and teach kids than some parents I've met. Highly recommend if you're thinking of having your child learn to swim while also just having a fun outing”

“Perfect place. I bring my client here who has special needs. Mark the owner and the staff are incredible. They let us stay as long as we want for bowling. We pay 17.50 for one child/game. Incredibly helpful as a support worker or as a parent. My client would stay here 24/7 if he could!”
