Swimming lessons for Newtonbrook.
Newtonbrook sits between Finch and Steeles either side of Yonge Street, and Hilda Avenue runs through the heart of it. If you live in Newtonbrook, the pool is almost certainly your closest coached swimming option — for many families it is a walk rather than a drive.
Every lesson in the fall and winter season runs here. Not at a rotating list of venues, and not somewhere across the city: the same pool, the same deck, the same coach.
The closest thing to a neighbourhood club
There is a practical advantage to a pool being local that has nothing to do with marketing: swimmers actually turn up. Twice-a-week training is realistic when the pool is five minutes away and unrealistic when it is across the city in traffic.
That consistency is the single biggest factor in whether a technical correction sticks. A swimmer who trains twice a week close to home will out-progress a more talented swimmer who makes it to a distant pool once a fortnight.
Lesson times
Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:00 PM, and Saturday at 9:00 AM. Lessons are booked as monthly blocks of 4, 8 or 12 — once, twice or three times a week.
Families with more than one swimmer usually put siblings in the same slot, which is also where the sibling discount applies.
Getting there
155 Hilda Avenue is a block west of Yonge Street, north of Finch Avenue West and south of Steeles. On-site parking, and Yonge Street bus routes stop within a short walk.
For anyone coming from Thornhill just north of Steeles, it is a straight run south down Yonge.
