How do I cancel my lessons?

To cancel your lessons, you must submit an online cancellation form. No classes or payments can be ceased without a submitted cancellation form.

How do I determine which level will best suit my child?

If your child has completed swimming lessons at other centres/programs our stages may be different so it is always best schedule an assessment to ensure your child goes into the level best suited to their abilities.

Can we play in the hydrotherapy pool including the ramp before or after my child's lesson?

No, as part of the conditions of entry for the hydrotherapy pool whilst lessons are running there is no admittance to the pool unless you are actively participating in a swimming lesson at your scheduled lesson time as this area is not actively supervised by lifeguards when lessons are running.

Why can I not see instructor's names listed on the classes?

Instructors are assigned based on their availability which is subject to change therefore this information is not provided on the online booking system.

Will this be my teacher all year?

No, our teachers can change as the teacher availability changes. All of our instructors are highly skilled and knowledgeable and the most suitable teacher will be assigned to the class.
