• Smaller class sizes than usual to allow for physical distancing.

• Class sets are shorter than usual allowing for more class options and more children to attend.

• No progress cards or badges will be issued. All participants will receive a report sharing what successes they have had and which skills to continue to practice.

• Please arrive SWIM READY - changerooms are only available after your swim.
