Preschool and school age
Our Pre-school and school age programs teach a range of skills and knowledge to develop swimming, water confidence, stroke development and water safety such as survival and basic rescue skills that can save lives.
The Details
- For children 3 years and older
- Life with kids is unpredictable - with 12 make-up lessons per year you'll be covered!
- Skill based progression through nine levels
- Track your child's progress with our online portal, quickly seeing what skills they need to improve on before advancing
Cost
$24.80/class (charged fortnightly via direct debit)
No start-up fees, lock-in contracts, cancellation penalties or need to re-enrol when advancing levels. Your swimming lesson membership will be charged fortnightly until cancelled (2 weeks notice period applies).
Getting started is easy as 1-2-3
- Use this page to get an idea on which level is most suited. Don't overthink it - we dive into more detailed level assessment in step 3.
- Click a Class Timetable link (opens a new window) to view day/time availability for that level. Click 'Enrol Now' to start enrolment.
- Create the parent account first, then the student account. Follow the prompts, including a series of questions to confirm which level is most suitable (don't stress too much on level selection - if needed we can adjust after an initial lesson).
All enrolments are completed online through the Customer Portal. If you get stuck please watch the enrolment guide (bottom of page), or if required give us a call. We can also walk you through an enrolment in person on your device or one of ours. A payment source for ongoing debits is required to complete enrolment.
