Important Swimming School & Club Regulations

Registrations will only be accepted upon payment on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Late registrations will only be accepted subject to availability of vacant places in the various swimming groups and no partial payment will be refunded for children who are absent or decide not to continue the term.

Based on previous years’ experiences, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHILDREN, parents/guardians will not be allowed to switch lessons from one group to another, unless you are instructed to do so by the coach in agreement with the parents/guardians, as this disrupts our swimmers per coach ratio.

Swimmers are kindly asked to come to the lessons wearing a swimming cap PREFERABLY with their first name written clearly with a permanent marker. Swimming goggles are also recommended for Groups C and above.

Re. Young Swimmers – Our coaching staff will only take responsibility for the swimmers’ health and safety during the time of the lesson. Coaches and pool staff will not be held responsible for those young swimmers, who are left unattended by the pool before and/or after the lessons.

The Swimming School fee paid entitles children to swim only during the swimming lessons. Therefore, those parents/guardians, who are not Club Members, and would like their children to make use of the pool prior to or after the swimming lessons need to make a Youth Season Membership for their children at the Neptunes Pool Office. (See Membership Fees List on club website).

PARENTS/GUARDIANS are STRICTLY PROHIBITED from interfering during the swimming lessons by passing comments to their children or coaches. Parents are kindly asked to seek advice or clarifications, regarding any shortcomings after the lesson has ended.

Parents/guardians should ensure that SUN BLOCK (outdoor pool only) is applied to the children prior to sending them for their lessons.

Whilst at Neptunes, accompanying persons are kindly asked NOT to use the bar tables as a changing area for the children. Swimmers, parents and guardians are restricted from bringing down food and drink onto the pool premises and are only allowed to consume those purchased from the bar whilst on Club premises.

Parents/guardians, who are not Neptunes Club Members, will only be allowed to watch from the lower pool deck (the area in front of the dressing rooms) and the bar.

PLEASE NOTE that persons accompanying the swimmers and who are not Club Members, are STRICTLY PROHIBITED from using the pool and going on ALL the upper deck area.
