Registrations:
Registrations can be made at any time of the term.  When registering a student into a class a $25.00 Registration Fee is due.  The student is then secured into the same day, time and level each week for the term and for every consecutive term thereafter, even when the student progresses to a new level or the student wishes to changes days and/or times.
The Registration Fee stays with the student until they leave lessons.
The Registration Fee is Fully Refundable**.
The Registration Fee is separate from Swimming Lesson Term Fees and will not be deducted from them.  There are no family discounts on registration fees.
Registration fees will be VOID and lessons CANCELLED if the student has not attended for two consecutive weeks without communication to the centre. 
Upon returning to the centre a new registration fee will be charged.
**Registration Fee Refund
 To obtain a refund a written request must be given to the centre prior to the end of the current term, stating that the student will not be returning in the following term, the fee will need to be paid if the student returns to lessons.

Family Discounts
Family Discounts applies for three or more students from the same family i.e. Siblings or Step-Siblings or Parent & Children.  The discount price is put over the whole family.

Upon Notification a reference number will be allocated to the student(s), this will allow the student(s) to organise a make-up lesson.  Please Note: Reference Numbers have an expiry date.  There are no credits or refunds for any classes missed.
 
Arranging Make Up Lessons
Make Up Lessons must be taken in the current term, transferring make ups to the following term will only be arranged if the student is fully paid for in the following term.  If the student is unable to attend a make-up lesson during the current term then the lesson can be transferred into either a Family Pass (these entitle 2 Adults and 3 Children to use the pool during public swimming sessions) or a Hydrocise Double Pass. 
 
Please Note: Once changed into a Family Pass or Hydrocise Double Pass it can not be converted into anything else.   Refunds or Credits will not be given for missed lessons, Family Passes or Hydrocise Double Passes.
 
Assessment Procedures
Formal Assessments are generally held twice per term, usually week 5 and week 8.  After week 5 assessments students who have passed will where possible immediately go up into the next level.  While in week 8 students will begin the new level in the following term.
 
Safety Issues
In the interests of safety parents and children are not permitted to enter the water before the start of their lesson and must exit the water at the end of their lesson.  All students must remain with their Parents / Guardians until their lesson begins and not be permitted to sit on the pool edge or pool steps.
