Regular exposure and opportunity to practice enhances swimming skills and fast tracks progress. For this reason, Laurie recommends that swimmers attend 2 lessons per week for faster skill acquisition.
We also provide holiday intensive programs, clinics & specialised promotions throughout the year for families to take advantage of. These are a fantastic addition to our regular program and allow swimmers further practice and understanding of specific swimming skills.
Our classes run perpetually. Please consult the calendar or ask office staff about scheduled breaks within the year. We close over the Christmas and New Year period and may close briefly during the year for maintenance purposes.
On the rare occasion where lessons are cancelled due to extreme weather, pool malfunction or other extenuating circumstances families will receive a credit for the lesson missed. Please keep an eye on your emails and social media to keep up to date on lessons going ahead in extreme weather situations.
Swimmers can access at least 10 free lessons each year in our program – we believe the value of these lesson far outweighs the provision of make-up lessons within our program.
