Level progressions are an exciting time for everyone. Our priority is to move students to a new level as quickly as we can as it is important for their development and continued improvement. We will try to implement level changes on the spot; however this can be impacted by demand, your availability and any preferences you may have with times, days or teachers.

Please email your centre with the dates you will be away. Our team will provide you with all available options to help you decide how best to manage your swimming lessons during this time.
If you are away for less than 2 weeks, you can use your term make ups.
