Do I have to re-enrol each term?
You don't need to re-enrol for Swim ARCademy, your membership continues ongoing throughout the year.
How do I change class times or levels?
If you've received a progression email from us or your teacher notifies you that you have progressed, you can either:
- Come and see us at the Aqua Hub or at reception and one of our staff members will show you the current availability of the next level. From there, you can decide which class you would like to move to.
- Fill in our change of class form and we'll reach out to you about current availability.
I have two children one has their lesson in the warm water pool and another child is in the Learn to Swim pool can they have lessons at the same time?
Siblings swimming in the Learn to Swim pool and 25m pool can be booked into lessons at the same time, as long as the guardian can maintain visual contact between both pools.
This does NOT apply to parents and babies; they cannot have another child in the Learn to Swim or 25m whist in the warm water pool unless another guardian is present.
How do I cancel my Swim ARCademy membership?
You can cancel your Swim ARCademy enrolment online. Your cancellation must be lodged by close of business on the Tuesday prior to the next direct debit date to ensure payment is not taken out.
