Home lesson procedures

A parent/adult is to check the pool and enclosed area for safety before each session/lesson and remove potentially dangerous obstacles or wildlife.

Water clarity and Health standards. Pool water must be clear enough to see the bottom. Balancing: Private pools must have a working filtration and chlorination system running regularly and checked. This is the homeowner’s responsibility.

In the case where more than one child is participating in a swim class, and each child receives individual attention, the following requirements exist:

• Parental supervision in the pool area is required;
• Swimmers waiting for their turn must sit on the top steps and not move off these steps under any circumstances. This is to be made clear by both the teacher and parents.
• There is no running within the pool area.
• Diving or jumping into the pool is only allowed in the deep end under the teacher’s supervision.
• Please speak to us about wearing goggles.
• Please remember to discuss any medical concerns you have regarding your child.
• If you are taking part in the Exercise program, please make sure you have completed the medical enrollment form and a clarification from your GP.

Once the session has finished on that day, children are required to leave the pool and the pool area with the pool gate closed.

Each pool must display CPR signage and comply with council regulations under the current Swimming Pools Act.

In the event of a thunderstorm or any electrical activity, lessons must be suspended immediately.

We want to ensure your swimming and water safety experience is a fun, educational and enjoyable experience.

In the case of an exercise program, the homeowner is responsible for maintaining water quality, clear water, being able to see the bottom of the pool, and ensuring chemicals are balanced according to the Australian Standard for Pool Water Quality AS3633.
