PAYMENT
To secure your place, a $45 refundable enrolment deposit is to be paid. This will be refunded when we receive 2 weeks’ notice that you would like to stop lessons.
Option 1:
Classes are paid for in advance for a whole school term.
Option 2:
Weekly Payment Plan
Our Weekly Payment Plan has no fees, no interest charges, and no need to sign any paperwork or send us your banking details.
All you need to do is set up a regular weekly transfer from your bank account to New Wave Swim School. $19 per week for weekday morning classes, and $20 per week for afternoon and Saturday classes.
We will send you a statement at the end of each term detailing your fees and payments made so that you can see how you are tracking. If you are ahead with your payments, the balance carries forward to the next term’s fees or will be refunded on termination of lessons. If you are in arrears, you will be advised how to get your account in balance.
The weekly amount is less than the actual lesson fee because your regular weekly transfer is made every week of the year (52 weeks), including when New Wave Swim School is closed during the school holidays.
Bank transfers are to be made to:-
New Wave Swim School
BSB: 013-006
Account Number: 2970-65189
(please put name as reference)
We accept cash, card and direct bank transfers.
ASSESSMENTS
SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN
Our classes for school age children are grouped by ability, therefore we need to assess each child in order to place them in the best possible class.
Assessments are conducted regularly throughout the term. After the assessment we will be able to recommend the best possible class for your child.
Please contact us in order to arrange your assessment. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
BABIES AND PRE-SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN
There is no requirement to undergo an assessment for Parent & Child classes.
MAKE-UP POLICY
We understand that sometimes your child may need to miss a lesson due to illness. If this happens you may qualify for a make-up lesson. To qualify for a make-up lesson:
you must have notified us before your child's lesson time by phone or our website telling us that your child will not be attending
make-up lessons must be completed during the term that the missed lesson occurred in
make-up lessons cannot be exchanged for cash refunds or credits towards next term fees
if you do not notify us that a lesson or make-up lesson was not going to be attended you will forfeit the lesson
