AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

(Pre-school and school age children. Two and a half years onwards)

Monday to Friday 4.00pm to 6.30pm All classes are for half an hour.
Saturday 9.00am to 12.30pm

There are five levels at these times, Beginners and Juniors are taught in our seventeen metre pool and Intermediates, Advanced and Pre Squad have lessons in the twenty-five metre pool.
Beginner classes have only four students in them and teachers are in the water at all times and instruction is individual, one on one. Each student is working at their own level of competency at their own pace. In between turns with their teacher they have the opportunity to practice, develop water awareness and confidence. Parents are encouraged to sit at the pool edge until their children are familiar with the environment.

Once children are able to swim freestyle and backstroke correctly for ten metres they are promoted to the Junior class where there is a maximum of six students and the teacher is out of the water. Here we introduce breast stroke and butterfly and swimming in deep water.

Once confident and swimming well in the deeper water children are promoted to the Junior classes in the larger twenty-five metre pool. Advanced and Pre Squad students are for the competent swimmer and the emphasis is on stroke technique and fitness in the water. There are a maximum of eight students in these classes. All classes incorporate survival skills into the program.

We have only one six week break (the same time as the school Christmas holidays) during the year so there is continuity in the program and therefore quicker progress. We have a very fair make-up system. This allows you to prepare for holidays or parties or other family and school commitments. If for any reason you need to cancel a lesson you may, even with short notice (before 2pm on your lesson day) and arrange to reschedule to another time of your choosing within the next eight weeks. If you chose not to reschedule there is a half price booking fee. If you cancel later than 2pm or you do not show up for a lesson a full fee for that lesson is required. Outside working hours messages for cancelled lessons may be left on the answering machine.
Payment is as you go, no up front fees or deposits. Your first lesson is free.

FEES:
1 child $13.50 per week
2 children $13.00 each per week
3 children $12.50 each per week
