- Memberships are assigned per child. Each child in your family needs to have their own membership.
- Swimsmart school holiday programmes are not included in the membership but can be purchased in addition to your membership.
- When joining Swimsmart you will be asked a series of questions to ensure your child is put in the right level of class. If you would like this assessment reconsidered, you can book an in-water assessment online or with our Customer Experience staff.
- If you have previously had swimming lessons with Swimsmart, your child will be enrolled into the level they were previously assessed at unless you book an in-water assessment online or with our Customer Experience staff.
- A swim assessment is not required for Caregiver and Child lessons or Pre-schooler lessons.
- Grading will occur on an ongoing basis so your child progresses through levels as soon as they are ready.

Keep our pools safe
We want everyone to be able to enjoy the pools and have a safe and enjoyable experience.
It’s important that caregivers take extra care when accompanying a child to the pool.
