Thanks for the information.
Quick google found this. Unsure if this is helpful, but first thing l think of is local councils. Normally cheap and qualified, and therefore Can't go wrong. Can't recommend but think this is a logical place for you to investigate.

I’ve worked at council pools before and the quality is hit and miss. It depends on whether management care about swimming as a sport or their profits. I certainly would not be sending my future children to some of the places I’ve worked at.
The question to ask the pools you consider is: “how many of your current national age/state open swimmers have progressed from your LTS program?”
Check out the top swimming clubs in VIC by state age point score: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EVhy331L6v2sEgP_1GMcs84CkeI…
have you enquired at your local public pools and schools?
Will do so next few day, trying to check out if there is any recommendation of cheap and good swimming instructor around.
In the 70s if you were scared to go in the water they picked you up and threw you in. Actually that continued all the way to the 2000s depending on your PE teacher.
My PE instructor/sports carnival swimming master got sacked for pushing me off the blocks at a swimming carnival I wasn't supposed to be in. long story short can't swim, some smartarse in my 1 st form class signed me up. Pe instructor wouldn't listen when I said can't swim said jump in then climb out.
Rest is history
Cheap is not always best. Lots of Austswim and Swim Australia ‘qualified’ instructors are dodgy at best. Of course, you might find a good instructor here and there, but the majority of them suck. Look for a place with a solid high performance program and a well-defined mission statement - more often than not, their high performance culture trickles down to learn to swim. Stay away from places with no high performance program because you can be guaranteed management won’t give a stuff about quality.
