Arrival Time: Please arrive 15-20 minutes before your trial to register, change, and be ready 5 minutes prior to class. It’s the parent’s responsibility to prepare both you and your child. Late Policy: If you arrive more than 10 minutes late, you cannot join the class and will need to pay for another trial.

  • POOL SAFETY & ETIQUETTE & HYGIENE
    Hygiene: Rinse off under the shower before entering the pool. Keep your child home if they or a family member show signs of illness, and return only when cleared by a doctor. No snacks allowed near the pool or changing rooms. Safety: Parents/caregivers must supervise children once the class ends. The teacher is responsible only during the lesson. On busy days, only one parent/caregiver may stay near the pool to minimize distractions. Others should wait in designated areas. Etiquette: Be punctual; late arrivals (10+ minutes) cannot join the class and may receive a Family Swim session instead. Keep showers quick as others are waiting; showers and changing tables are on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • My child is afraid of water. What do I do?
    Children often become scared in the water due to a lack of control. To help them feel in control, start with shallow water where they can sit or stand independently. Once they gain confidence, gradually introduce deeper water with reassurance and small tasks. Be patient, go slowly, and offer regular exposure—taking your child to the pool a few times a week will help them feel more relaxed in the environment.
  • How long will it take for my child to learn how to swim?
    Every child is different, so progress varies, but regular practice and exposure are key. To help your child learn quickly, aim for pool sessions two or more times a week, and consider using our Family Swim sessions. Early exposure is crucial—by age 3, most children will have learned basic strokes and lifesaving skills like floating and turning. With continued development, they should swim 3-5m unaided by 2.5-3 years. We emphasize patience and practice, allowing each child to progress at their own pace without pressure.
  • Do parents need to be confident swimmers?
    Parents must be in the pool with babies, but the water is shallow enough for parents to stand. Our experienced teachers will guide you to feel confident and help with submersion exercises if you're not comfortable going underwater. However, we recommend it as a wonderful bonding experience with your child.
  • Do you offer replacement classes?
    Yes! Our rolling term is 10 classes to be done in 12 weeks. You may replace any class missed (if it's cancelled within the 2 hour cancellation period) within the 12 week term. Any remaining classes will be forfeited once the 12 week expiry date has passed.
  • Do you offer refunds or credits or transfers?
    A credit will be given if the class is cancelled due to weather, staff or pool maintenance issues. However, for other circumstances, we will not provide a refund or credit, unless the circumstances are extenuating.
  • If I pull out of classes can you guarantee that my time, day and teacher will be the same when I return?"
    Unfortunately we cannot guarantee this. If you wish to maintain the same slot, then we request that a holding fee is paid.
  • Do I change classes when my child changes levels?
    Most likely you will changes classes and times, unless the whole group has progressed at the same rate.
