JD Oates Aquatic Centre

Welcome to the JD Oates Aquatic Centre, located at 1 Boundary Street, Croydon, Australia. Our aquatic centre is a point of interest and a must-visit establishment in the area.

Open to the public, our centre offers a range of facilities and programs for all ages and abilities. Whether you're a beginner or an elite level swimmer, we have something for everyone. With our experienced and nurturing swimming staff, you can be confident that you or your child will receive top-notch instruction and guidance.

Swimming is an essential life skill, especially in Australia, and we believe in promoting and encouraging swimming from a young age. Our lessons not only teach kids how to swim but also instill confidence and educate them about water safety. Swimming is not just a great form of exercise, but it also opens up a world of opportunities for other fun activities such as rowing, diving, kayaking, and surfing.

Located within the beautiful grounds of PLC Sydney, our swimming programs are based in the J.D. Oates Aquatic Institute. This purpose-built facility offers both indoor and outdoor environments, designed to strengthen a child's natural curiosity and excite inquisitive minds. Our programs cater to beginners as well as elite level swimmers, and our squads cater to all types of swimmers, whether competitive or recreational.

At PLC Sydney, we believe in maximizing your child's learning potential. Our institution is known for its student extension, enrichment, and support programs, which have been running for many years. We aim to ignite your child's curiosity, extend their unique interests, and build on the foundations for their love of learning.

We are proud to be named one of the world's hundred most innovative schools by Cambridge University. Our institution offers a vibrant community, connecting current and former students across the country and around the world. Our Ex-Students community supports lasting friendships and provides opportunities for networking, events, and reading other graduate stories.

Parents play an integral role in our institution, and we value their involvement in the day-to-day running of the College. We warmly invite you to learn more about PLC Sydney and the wonderful opportunities that await your daughter. Whether you're interested in our boarding program or our academic offerings from Pre-K to Year 12, PLC Sydney is a non-selective, independent school that provides a positive and lively learning environment.
