We have switched to fortnightly direct debit for lessons

Same great lessons, now with less admin!

Life is busy enough without having to worry about re-enrolments for Learn to Swim. That’s why we have switched to ongoing enrolment.

We’ve heard your feedback and made the process simpler. Your Learn to Swim enrolment will now be ongoing, meaning no more remembering term times, re-enrolment dates, queuing or bulk payment. We have switched to fortnightly direct debit.

You will still have the same flexibility, and you can still cancel anytime. Or if you are on holidays or sick, your permanent place includes four weeks holiday and four sick days. We do ask that you let us know in writing, prior to the start of your holidays.

Our new ongoing term has started, and we are welcoming all new enrolments and re-enrolments.

Accredited swimming program and lessons

The Des Renford Leisure Centre Swim School program is an accredited Austswim and Royal Life Saving Society Swim and Survive program.  Our program is designed to promote water safety, familiarisation and stroke correction within an enjoyable and safe environment.  All abilities are catered for from babies to adults. Lessons are 30 minutes in duration and bookings are ongoing via direct debit.

Progression through the program is achieved by meeting the assessment criteria defined for each level and is not based upon age.
