Lesson Information and Conditions

Swim School Entry Passes

The swim school card is to be used in the turnstiles each week to gain entry for swimming lessons as well as it marks the attendance to the lesson. One spectator per swim school student is permitted entry into the centre free of charge to supervise their children (this is excluding adult lessons). If you have forgotten your entry card, please see the swim school office or reception so they can mark your attendance and give you a temporary access pass.

Other family members will be required to pay general admission charges. If you wish to swim, swim entry fees will apply. For Beach Babies classes, two adults are allowed in free, one to participate in the class and another as a spectator.

Medical Information

Please inform the swim school office of any medical considerations that students may have. This information is important, as instructors need to be aware of any medical concerns, for the safety of your child, themselves and others
