How Long Are Swimming Lessons?

Our swimming lessons are designed to provide consistent skill development in a structured and supportive environment throughout the year.

🏊 How Long Is Each Lesson?

All swimming lessons are 30 minutes long. Pre-Squad sessions run for 45 minutes. 

This lesson length allows instructors to focus on skill development, water safety, and confidence-building while keeping swimmers engaged and active.

📅 How Does the Swim School Calendar Work?

Our Swim School operates on a 48-week calendar year, providing lessons across most of the year.

There are 4 scheduled weeks each year when Swim School does not run as programmed. These breaks are built into the annual calendar and will be communicated to families in advance and can be viewed through our Direct Debit calendar:

🎉 What Happens on Public Holidays?

Swim School is closed for programming on public holidays.

If your scheduled lesson falls on a public holiday:

✅ Your lesson will not run 
✅ A make-up token will be automatically applied to your account 
✅ You can use this token to book an alternative lesson at a later date, subject to availability

💻 How Do I Use My Make-Up Token?

Make-up lessons can be booked through the Online Client Portal using your available make-up token.

We recommend booking early to secure your preferred class time.
