Welcome back to Term 2 swimming lessons, and thank you for your continued support in re- enrolling your child/children into our learn to swim programme. It has
been a great term with minimal disruptions to our lessons, which has been really pleasing.
Facility Maintenance - Due to maintenance taking place on our pool plant heating system, we will not be holding any LTS lessons on the Week of 7 -12 August, the facility will remain open however their could be some heating issues and adjustments that will occur over this period and we would prefer that programme is not in operation this week to save any further inconveniences. Lessons will commence as normal from Monday 14 August. Due to no public holiday’s this will mean that the term length will be 9 weeks for all LTS participants for term 3 2017. Thank you for you patience during this time.
If you have any queries, email [email protected]
Happy swimming…
Key DatesREMINDERS LAST WEEK OF TERM 2: Last day of term 2 is Saturday, 8 July.
ASSESSMENTS: We will be assessing between Monday 12 June and Saturday 24 June, allowing 2 weeks to cover if anyone is away.
GOGGLES: Every child should have their own goggles adjusted for their face shape. A lot of tuition time is being taken up organising and adjusting goggles, so please ensure your child is ready to go at lesson time, with googles adjusted and hair tied back or wearing a cap.
10 FREE SWIMS/CONCESSION CARDS: Please encourage and reinforce your child’s water skills, and utilise the 10 free swims on your child’s Learn to Swim entry card as children really benefit and progress faster the more water time they are exposed to.
PROMPT ENROLMENTS AND PAYMENT: Early enrolment is essential if you require a specific day or time, so please be prompt to avoid any disappointment.
TWO LESSONS PER WEEK: This really helps to consolidate and fast-track your child’s water skills, if the level and time permits, the second lesson will need to be a Friday after school. The second lesson is half price.
LEVELS AND CERTIFICATES: Small changes to these occurred last year, and we will continue to monitor them in the future and make any necessary changes to ensure that our programme is providing the relevant skills to assist with the overall Learn to Swim process.
CHILDREN’S PROGRESS: We will provide five minutes at the end of every lesson in weeks nine and ten of the term for parents and caregivers to have a quick chat with their child’s instructor as to how their children are progressing.
BEHAVIOUR: Our team of instructors work hard to ensure all students get the most out of each lesson. During lesson time, we ask that all parents and caregivers resolve children’s disruptive behaviour as quickly as possible. If your child’s behaviour continues to disrupt the class and our ability to teach the other students, your child may be removed from the class. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
UPDATESBABY/TODDLER CLASSES: There are many benefits to enrolling your child in Learn to Swim lessons from ages six months to three years. Participating in swimming lessons enables infants to utilise their senses – sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell which are all vitally important to physical, emotional, and psychological development. We have a lovely warm environment particularly during our winter months.
TEXT MESSAGE SYSTEM: We now have this system in place should we need to make contact with you in regard to lessons been cancelled, or to simply send reminders. Please let us know if you have any concerns around this.
TEACHING SWIMMING FOR THOSE WITH DISABILITIES: We are fortunate to have one instructor qualified and another one in training in this area, please feel free to talk with us further if you have a child that may benifit from this tution.
INTENSIVE HOLIDAY BLOCK COURSE: We will be offering courses, numbers permitting, from Monday 10 July – 14 July and Monday 17 July – Friday 21 July. Five day courses, cost: $50 for 5 days or $80 for two weeks.
