I had the pleasure of starting Gerry’s swim school when my son was just 6 months old. Oska and India continued to swim at Who Dares Swims for the next 10 years!!
We couldn’t be happier with our children’s swim technique it really is Gerry’s differentiator to other swim schools. Oska is now a competitive swimmer that looks as if he’s glid

Both of our boys spent several years attending Gerry’s amazing swim school. They had previously attended another well know venue where it transpired that they were being taught to merely float as opposed to swim. Hence, they arrived at Gerry’s with many bad ingrained habits that needed to be unwound. However, there is no challenge beyon

They had previously attended another well know venue where it transpired that they were being taught to merely float as opposed to swim. Hence, they arrived at Gerry’s with many bad ingrained habits that needed to be unwound. However, there is no challenge beyond Gerry’s reach and soon our ‘little bricks’ had been transformed into ‘graceful dolphins’ and have both gone onto being Rep swimmers. More importantly, they have retained their love of the water and always talk fondly of their days at the legendary

Both my daughters Lili (15) and Jessica Edser (13) started swimming with Gerry when they were young toddlers. Gerry always made sure that they progressed only after they had perfected each stroke technically and with this strength behind them began to excel at swimming.
Both girls are state qualified swimmers. Jessica represented NSW at
Both my daughters Lili (15) and Jessica Edser (13) started swimming with Gerry when they were young toddlers. Gerry always made sure that they progressed only after they had perfected each stroke technically and with this strength behind them began to excel at swimming.
Both girls are state qualified swimmers. Jessica represented NSW at school sports australia national championships at the age of 10 and 12 winning a silver medal and has always been complemented by her squad coaches in her ability to remain streamlined and technical in her backstroke. Jess has held state records for backstroke since she was 10. Lili was a top 6 state age breaststroker and at 13 moved on to play Waterpolo and represented NSW at the recent Pan Pacs in New Zealand in 2014.
We attribute the girls swimming and aquatic success to the foundations that were learnt under the guidance of Gerry and her team at Who Dares Swims
