Policies
Safety Rules
It is extremely important that you read the Safety Rules on the wall to your children and make sure guests are aware of them as well. Please keep yourself, young children and guests behind the fence and mats.
Fees
Fees are due by the second week of term unless a payment installment plan is in place. All fees MUST be finalised before the end of each term to be able to re enrol.
Re-enrolment
To secure a place for the next term a $40 per swimmer deposit is due by the 2nd last week of each term. This amount is deducted from the next terms total.
Deposits hold a place NOT a specific time & day.
NO DEPOSIT, NO PLACE.
Makeup Lessons
Makeup lessons may be available based on the following conditions;
- You must have notified us at least 1 HOUR BEFORE your child’s lesson.
- Term fees must be paid.
- Maximum 3 per term
- Makeup lessons must be completed during the term or on the following school holidays (not T4).
- Makeup lessons do not carry over to the next term.
- Makeup lessons can not be exchanged for cash refunds or credits towards fees.
Please Note:
- We can not guarantee to provide makeup classes if there are no places available. We rely on families advising us of any absence as soon as they can to be able to offer places.
- As an easier option for parents we also may organise your child’s class as a semi private (half capacity class) as a makeup lesson. This saves you coming back another time or staying longer and has more benefit as they receive more teaching time.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FOLLOW UP FOR MAKEUP LESSONS please use the link in your Parent Portal in the Absence & makeup section to notify your availability.
Medical Absence
If your child needs to be absent for medical reasons a medical certificate will need to be supplied to receive credit.
