PARENTS/CARERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY EMAIL (OR TOLD BY PIP) IF YOUR SWIMMER IS MOVING SQUADS.
Learn To Swim (LTS) has 12 different levels. Swimmers move through these levels often during term. LTS swimmers are notified when they are ready to move to the mini-squad (Snappers). Only students in the top level of Learn to Swim are notified if they are moving to the Snappers squad.

All other Learn to Swim (LTS) students move up groups as they progress. This can often happen during term. LTS students are assessed constantly and often change levels during the term, depending on their needs. Please note moving swimmers can happen during term – When a swimmer is ready to move, we move them. Please respect the coaches’ decision as it is made in the best interest of the swimmer and their longevity in the sport.

PARENTS/CARERS IN POOL AREA:
With the cooler weather we ask parents and carers to limit the foot traffic inside the pool area. Having a crowded pool area is distracting for students and coaches. The pool’s side doors will start to reopen on warmer days, so parents can view from the courtyard. Please sit/wait in the courtyard whist your swimmer is in a lesson unless the weather dictates otherwise, the inside pool area is for swimmers only. During the cooler weather please note the seating area for parents is near the pool office. The grandstand and side of the pool is for students and coaches.
Parents’ pick up and drop off area is near the pool door entry.
For duty of care -we ask parents refrain from entering the bathrooms/ change room area.

NEW ENROLMENTS:
Swim assessment is required before new enrolment can be completed and a position can be offered. Swim assessment take approximately 5 minutes per swimmer. New enrolments are offered a spot once re-enrolments have closed.

Students who require floatation don’t need an assessment. However, we do ask you to notify use of any previous lessons your child may have had.

Please note we use floaties on students we deem not water safe. The level of floatation depends on the students level of water familiarization / ability to follow instructions / personalities. Safety of our students is our priority.

We have three students per class in LTS and the aim is to have all swimmers swimming and not spending the majority of a lesson waiting on a platform.
