HBF Stadium Swimming Lessons are a continuous program with progressive development. Your child will swim continuously over the year including most school holiday periods. Assessment will be ongoing, with certificates awarded when your child has achieved their skills relevant to their stage. This means you won’t need to wait until the end of the term for your child to move up to the next level. Classes are held weekly with your fees debited from your account on a weekly basis. Once you are enrolled, you will not be required to re-enrol again, unless you withdraw your enrolment and decide to re-join the program at a later date.

Swimming classes at HBF Stadium are continuous with a six week break in the December/January school holidays. Classes will continue weekly at all other times throughout the year.
