How do I view my current bookings?
To view your current bookings and upcoming classes, simply log into the swim school portal and visit ‘My Bookings’.
What if I cannot attend my swimming lesson?
For medical absence
If you cannot attend a swimming lesson for medical reasons, please obtain a medical certificate stating the swimmers name, dates the swimmer cannot attend swimming and a signature from a registered medical practitioner (on letterhead) and we can credit your account for the missed lessons. Click here to submit your medical credit request form.
For any other reason (non-medical)
If the reason you cannot attend is not medical-related, unfortunately we cannot credit your account or offer a make-up lesson/session. If you are going away, you can either cancel your booking, or continue paying your fees in order to keep your spot.
Do you offer make-up lessons?
We do not offer make-up classes for missed lessons. However, with an active swimming lesson contract, you can enjoy free access to the pool outside your scheduled lesson times during WA school terms. This allows enrolled students and one accompanying adult to enter using the student’s entry FOB. Please note that this free access is not available during non-swimming periods, such as school holidays.
Can I change my lesson day or time?
Yes, you are able to complete a class transfer in the swim school portal. To change your current class time, log into the swim school portal and visit 'Swimming lessons' under 'Book'. Filter by ‘Activity type’ and ‘Level’ to view the current timeslots. Click ‘Enrol now’ on the right hand side of your preferred class. Click ‘Transfer here’ next to the student you wish to transfer. *Note if ‘Transfer here’ does not appear, please contact us.

How do I change my direct debit payment method?
