Billing and Payments
Swim More For Less
It’s great for children to swim at least twice a week to help them progress. This allows them to build confidence and muscle memory faster. To help, we offer a 30% discount for the second lesson and a 50% discount on the third.
Therefore:
- Two lessons Monday to Friday are only $22.73 each.
- Three lessons Monday to Friday are only $19.61 each.
One lesson a week is $26.75 Monday to Friday and $28.25 on weekends. This helps us pay our staff bonus rates on Saturday and Sunday.
Sibling discount
If you have three or more children swimming with us you will receive a 15% discount.
How you pay for your lessons
Lesson fees are paid in advance via direct debit from your nominated account on a four-week cycle. Our direct debit calendar is opposite.
