We are not your run-of-the-mill swim school. Our program is heavily safety and survival focussed based on our partnership with the Royal Life Saving Society.
As well as being incorporated into our general program, we also run specific Water Safety Awareness training every 8-10 weeks.
Kickin’ It Swim School is located on our family property at 7 Leonard Court, Burpengary QLD.
Yes, we have a dedicated parking lot on site with plenty of space.
Our Learn to Swim & Survive group program are a maximum of three (3) students per class. Our Bigs & Littles/Pre-Squad Prep programs are a maximum of five (5) students per class.
No more than three (3) classes will run simultaneously.
Each class runs for 30 minutes, including private lessons.
Our classes run perpetually through the year with no school holiday closures except for a scheduled break over the Christmas period. There may be some unscheduled closures for maintenance purposes but all closure dates are advised well in advance.
As we run year-round and bill monthly, you can enrol at any time and fees will be pro-rated accordingly.
You can request enrolment at the school, over the phone, via email or on our website.
Enrolments will be automatically rolled over each month as long as payment is received.
If you wish to cancel, you just need to send us 30 days’ written notice.
All children entering Learn to Swim & Survive program will need to undergo an initial assessment by way of a trial lesson to ensure we place them into the correct level.
After an initial discussion regarding your child’s skill level, we will look for availability at a level on a day and time that will work for you ongoing. A nominal fee will be charged for the trial, which is payable prior to the booking being confirmed but there is no obligation to continue after the trial.
Please see our Fees page for full details of all lessons charges and discounts.
Fees are payable at the time of enrolment for that current month, pro-rated for the remaining weeks. If you are enrolling after the billing date (the first Thursday of the month), the following month’s fees will also be added and payable at the time of enrolment.
Ongoing monthly payments are taken via direct debit and accounts are made available through our customer portal.
Payment can also be made manually via our customer portal, as well as bank transfer and over the counter (cash and card).
We offer unlimited make-up lessons with a six (6) month expiry if two (2) hours’ notice of an absence prior to class start time is received . If a make-up lesson is missed then this lesson is forfeited unless the required two (2) hours’ absence notification is received. In that case, the make-up will be returned to your account.
Absence notification for regular lessons must be made via the customer portal or app. Make-up class cancellations should be notified via phone or text.
Make-ups are only valid with a current enrolment and are forfeited on cancellation.
Payments for missed lessons are non-refundable.
If you will be away for a period of four weeks or more, you can chose to either drop your enrolment at the end of the month (with sufficient notice) or pay a holding fee to secure your spot for a maximum of four weeks.
If your normal lesson time falls on a public holiday the lesson will not proceed and you will not be charged.
If we have to cancel a class due to issues with the pool or a teacher absence where we’ve been unable to cover, a non-expiring make-up will be added to your account. These make-ups will not be offered for any previously notified absences and will only apply to current enrolments.
