Important: If your child is enrolled in this class, they must wear a permanent, reusable swim nappy if they are not fully potty trained or if there is any chance of an accident. This helps maintain a clean and safe swimming environment for all participants.

Tuition Fees

The fees are for the full term, which is normally about 10 classes of 30 minutes once a week (or Pro Rata amount if you join part the way into the term) and are normally paid in advance, and at least 7 days prior to the start of the your first class.

We have TWO ways of paying. EFT or card payment at the coffee shop. We prefer not to take CASH!
IMPORTANT – Non-payment of fees by the due date could result in you losing your space, as many of the popular times have waiting lists.

Family discounts

Do you have a big family? We would love to help. We offer a family discount as shown below.
When you “Register” for a class, these discounts are automatically included on your account.

Pro-rata fees if you join after the term has started

If your child misses a few swim lessons as the term has already started, it will not have a significant impact on their overall progress and development. Teaching children to swim is all about repetition.

You are most welcome to join our classes at any time, even if the term has already started. Our professional instructors will always make you feel welcome.

When you join after the term has started you will automatically be billed the pro-rata fees for the balance of the term.

Full classes and waiting lists

If a particular class that you are interested in is full then “Waitlist” will show on the course table. You can add your child to the wait list. Whenever a space becomes available we will immediately let you know. Spaces become available in two ways; the first due to cancellations and the second when we open new additional classes. Please use the “Waitlist” option so that we can gauge demand and open additional classes for you.
