If you pay upfront and want to continue classes next term, you will need to re-enrol to keep your place.

What if I miss a lesson?

We understand there may be some days you cannot attend a lesson.

You will need to contact us to let us know you are unable to attend.

If a lesson is missed due to illness (and you show us a medical certificate or statutory declaration) we will credit you the cost of your missed lesson.

Can my child use the facilities outside of swimming lessons?

Yes. Your child can visit the Aquadome, and Council's other pools at Bairnsdale Aquatic and Recreation Centre, and the outdoor pools in Bairnsdale and Orbost during summer.

For children aged under five years, one parent or guardian (16 years or over) can use the facility free with the enrolled child for a swim outside of swimming lessons.
