Our Team

The end of this year sees us farewell another of our founding staff members.

Ben has taught in many classes – after school and Saturday. He has shared his knowledge and experience while mentoring many of our teachers. I sincerely thank him for his enthusiasm, dedication and commitment and wish him well in the future.

During Term 4 we have welcomed 4 new teachers – Gen, Lauren, Katie and Ash. While none of our other teachers are leaving us a change in university workloads will mean some changes to rosters. Jill and Nick will still be Lifeguarding during hydrotherapy classes.

Invoices for next term

You will find attached to your Child’s certificate an invoice for term 1 fees. Our Fees for 2014 have increased $1.00 per child per lesson. See the complete new fee schedule at the pool and below for the term calculations.

Fee Payments for 2014

All fees must be paid before the term starts.

2014 will see a new arrangement for fee payment. This has become necessary due to the amount of outstanding fees we have had over 2013. At the start of term before your child goes into class you will need to pay their fees, either by direct debit three days prior to your first class or by cash/cheque at the pool on the day of their first lesson of the term. If your direct debit is within three days of your first class, please bring a copy of your receipt. Unfortunately your child will not be able to swim unless payment is made or an arrangement is made with us prior to the start of term. Please see Kylie to discuss any concerns you may have.
