Billing and Payments
Swim More For Less
It’s great for children to swim twice a week to help them progress. This allows them to build confidence and muscle memory faster. To help, we offer a 25% discount for the second or third lesson.
Sibling discount
If you have three or more children swimming with us you will receive a 15% discount across all three children.
How you pay for your lessons
Lesson fees are paid in advance via direct debit from your nominated account on a monthly billing cycle on the first business day of the month. For simplicity we have averaged out the payments over the year so the same amount is deduced each month. This means you pay the same even if some months you may do four lessons and others five.
The only other change is a reduction in your fee for when we are closed on Public Holidays and for the Christmas break.
