Frequently asked questions
No — lessons are charged separately.
We can’t wait to welcome your child to swimming lessons with us. You are able to book your lesson online through our online portal, call us on 01477 689557 or come down to any of our sites with swimming pools and we will be happy to help you.
If you are unsure what stage you should book your child into we have a handy questionnaire to help you here just answer a few questions and we will be able to guide you to the right stage.
If your child is ready to move up or you want to transfer to another class, this can be arranged at your leisure centre reception or over the phone.
You can also move classes through the Home Portal, but only after your child has moved up, or a member of staff has enabled this to transfer classes. If the system prompts you to make a payment, this means it is trying to create a new Direct Debit, which is incorrect.
If you need support with moving classes, please email: [email protected]
We can offer replacement lessons for children who miss sessions due to medical reasons.
Replacement lessons can only be arranged when absence is confirmed with either:
- A signed doctor’s note, or
- A medical exemption certificate
If this applies to you, please contact: [email protected]
Swimming lessons run for 50 weeks each year. Your monthly Direct Debit is calculated to cover those 50 weeks, so the two-week Christmas closure is already included. You won’t pay extra, and your usual payment stays the same.
Please keep an eye on your email inbox, as all available spaces are automatically offered via email.
If you remain on the waiting list for 12 months without securing a place, the system will automatically remove your request. If you still require lessons after this time, you will need to add yourself back onto the waiting list.
Please note: Weekend Discovery Ducklings classes have a longer waiting time due to high demand.
When paying by Direct Debit, you are responsible for ensuring that the nominated account has sufficient funds on the collection date.
If a Direct Debit fails:
- The membership is automatically suspended
- The child’s lesson allocation is removed
- To rejoin, the pro-rata for the remainer of the month and a £21.99 joining fee must be paid
If your payment has failed and you need help rejoining lessons, please email: [email protected]
