Swim School Cancellation
Due to unforeseen circumstances, swim school will not be going ahead as planned this year.
Unfortunately, the Newton Street pool is being renovated and has not been completed during the expected time frame. As a result, we will not be able to use the pool for lessons this year. We were unable to find an alternative venue for our lessons to occur.
Money that has been paid for swim school will become fees in advance. This means that the money will not be refunded at this time but used to pay for things as they arise, such as school fees or excursions. If you feel you need this money reimbursed as a refund can you please contact Lisa in the front office to discuss how this can be arranged for you.
I apologise that we will not be able to offer swim lessons for your child or children this year and look forward to next year when we will be able to get wet!
Regards,
Anne Ryan
Swim School Coordinator
