It is vitally important that children arrive at least 10 minutes prior to their lesson time ensuring them enough time to prepare and to be ready waiting for the commencement of their lesson. Making full use of their lesson time is crucial as the duration of the lesson is only 30 minutes. If your child is late they may miss out on important skills taught during the lesson and may be disruptive for the others in the lesson.
The most imortant piece of clothing required for any swim lesson. For boys we do not recommend long baggy shorts and for girls we recommend that they wear a one-piece bathing suit.
Rash vest and wetsuits are not recommended as with our pool being heated to 31 degrees there is no need for children to wear rash or wetsuit as these items of clothing can make the children colder and also ccan limit their movement.
Whilst it is not compulsory we strongly encourage all children with hair shoulder length or longer to wear a swim cap.
The benefits of wearing a swimming cap is that it will:
We have a range of swimming caps of all sizes available at our reception.
Children are free to wear googles although on occasions during their lesson we will perform drills with the children not wearing their googles. Googles are an important part of enouraging children to take the step and put their face under water. We have a huge range of googles of all sizes acailable at our reception.
We strongly advise that all parents with children enrolled in our Babies and Toddlers lessons are required to wear a swim nappy if they are not yet toilet trained.
All fees apply across all our swimming levels
* Junior squad consists of children taking part in regular lessons as well as squad training
** Private lessons are reserved for children with special needs and are dependent on availability
Please ensure that your child’s lesson is paid for prior to the commencement of that lesson.
Term payments are available upon request, please see our staff at our front desk for further information. Discounts apply for term payment when paid in full within the first two weeks of each school term. Upon joining Sweeney's Swim School at your first lesson we do require a double lesson fee payment, this payment will pay for your lesson on that day and also for your final lesson with us whenever that may be.

If your child is not able to attend their regular lesson and have notified us with the prescribed timeframe as per our cancellation policy then the child is eligible for a make-up lesson.
Make-up classes cannot be cancelled or rescheduled once they are booked, if this is the case then they will be forfeited. All make up classes are to be booked and completed by the end of each school semester or they will be forfeited. Make-up classes are to be schedule outside of the child's regular booked swim lesson time and whilst the child is enrolled with the swim school.
Make-up classes are subjuct to availability and cannot be guaranteed.
A parent or guardian must be present and supervising their child/children at all times before, during and after their lesson. Children are not permitted to enter the water until the previous lesson is completed.
If you do not wish for photos to be taken whilst your child is participating in a class, please notify one of our staff and inform the teacher in the pool. When taking photos please only take individual photos of your child and not the class, unless permission is given by the other parents/guardians.
Your assistance in this would be appreciated as it is a requirement for the protection of young children.
All children are not able to use the pool outside their class time.
