IN A hotly contested poll, one swim school can take a dip in glory after being crowned the best in the city.

Little Snappers Swim School Riverway was voted the best by Townsville Bulletinreaders last week.

School owner Kylie Ashley-Cooper was “really chuffed” with the win.

She has been in the industry for 20 years, but bought the franchise three years ago. There is another Little Snappers Swim School franchise in North Shore.

“Every child has the right to learn the life-saving skill of swimming,” Ms Ashley-Cooper said.

“We teach all ages and all stages,” she said. The school offers half-price discounts for the second lesson booked in the same week. Classes cost $20 for 30 minutes.

“Two lessons a week is proved to lead to four times the improvement,” she said.

Little Snappers Riverway clinched the title as Townsville’s best swim school after claiming 21 per cent of the vote, narrowly beating Strand Swim School Tobruk Pool with 20 per cent and Glenn Buchanan Swim School.

Love2Swim School, Paul Sadler Swimland Riverside Gardens, Swim Studio, Townsville Swimming Academy, Long Tan Aquatics, Little Snappers North Shore and Swim HQ were also nominated by readers.
