WELCOME TO JUMP! SWIM SCHOOLS (JUMP!)
We look forward to supporting your child through their learn to
swim journey!
Following are our Membership Policies which you should read
before signing the Enrolment Form.
1. General Information
We are a private, members’ only facility, and children may only
begin lessons once membership has been accepted. A position in
a class is secured only once it is paid for in advance.
Enrolment is ongoing and you can start at any time
Your child will be placed in a class and will attend on the same day and time each week
We do not hold places or accept part payments
Memberships and lessons are NOT transferable nor refundable to other people including family members and cannot be credited
Planned JUMP! closures are on all public holidays and for up to two (2) weeks over the Christmas/New Year period. You are not charged for these days, therefore make up lessons are not required
If a group lesson has one (1) or two (2) students in it, JUMP! reserves the right to consolidate that class. At least one week’s notice will be provided of the change and we will do our best to find a suitable alternative class
JUMP! does not guarantee teacher requests and teacher schedules may change at any time
We allow for one (1) make-up lesson per 31 days as per the policy set out below
You may be given access to a Customer Portal which allows you to manage your child’s enrolment. It is critical that you check your emails for notifications regarding this
2. Membership Fee
A once-off membership fee of $35.00 per child is charged and a
membership pack provided. This fee is non-refundable and is due and payable upon booking your child into lessons.
3. Lesson Fees/Payment System
Lesson fees are payable in advance and only current, paid
members can attend classes. A position in a class is not held
without payment.
Group Lessons: $22.00/lesson
Private Lessons: $60.00/lesson
The fee structure is calculated on a ‘cost per lesson’ basis. Our only payment option is monthly payments via Direct Debit. A security deposit equivalent of up to two (2) weeks of lesson fees may be charged, so that lessons are always paid in advance.

including fees for declined debits

Membership
Cancellations by JUMP!
We reserve the right to cancel your membership if you do not
follow the set policies or if you or your children conduct themselves inappropriately at a JUMP! site.

notice prior to the end of the 12 week block (at lesson number

8. Swim Attire
Reusable swim nappies are mandatory for hygiene reasons
as faecal incidents can result in pool closure. Any child who
requires nappies normally must wear a reusable swim nappy
for lessons
●Swimming caps are provided as part of the membership pack
to all independent swimmers. These are recommended to be
worn to ensure fewer distractions for your child and for pool
hygiene
●It is recommended that parents/carers wear a rash vest in the
water. This assists the child to gain independence through
reaching for and holding the shirt instead of the parent having to always lift and hold the child
●No streetwear/casual clothes will be permitted in the pool e.g.
cotton t-shirts, shorts, etc.
●Swimwear (including nappies) must not be removed on pool deck at any time
