NEWSLETTER - DECEMBER 2017
RE-BOOKING FOR THE JANUARY COURSE:
Those who wish to enroll for the next course, who are remaining at the same level and are happy with the same day and time may enroll at the desk on the day the assessment form is received. If your child has moved level please complete the enrolment form enclosed with the assessment form. If you wish to change time or day please go to the desk and complete an enrolment form. Please ensure all forms are completed and returned on the day the assessment form is received.
A copy of the new timetable is available either on the notice board or left on the chairs around poolside. A copy is also available to view on the website. All assessment forms will be handed out at the beginning of each lesson. Anyone who cannot return the form on the day should email to the address noted below ot text on 0794 173 8984 with the 3 preferred options.

COMPLETING THE ENROLMENT FORM
When completing your options of new classes; if we are unable to accommodate the times you ask for we will text you on the 30th and offer the classes that we still have spaces in. Please bear in mind that some classes are more popular than others (week days early) and if you list only these times it is quite possible you may not get your options. The more flexible you are able to be the easier it is for us to be able to accommodate everyone. Please also note on the form if you are tying in with a sibling and what time their lesson is. All those who complete an enrolment form will be sent a text on Thursday afternoon 30th November stating the day & time of their childs next course of lessons starting January. All those who enroll at the desk on the day the assessment form is given will not receive a text as the place is confirmed.
PAYMENT
Places will be held after reserving a space in a class until the following week to allow you time to make payment. Any spaces that have been reserved and not paid for by Monday 11th December will receive a text to remind them of payment. ANY PAYMENTS NOT RECEIVED BY THE LAST DAY OF THE TERM – WEDNESDAY 13TH DECEMBER WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CLASS LISTS WITH NO FURTHER CONTACT.
We fully appreciate that some parents with more than 1 child may wish to stagger payments and we are quite open to this option. Please make your intentions known before the end of term if you wish to make alternative arrangements. Otherwise your child will be removed from the class lists and not be expected at lessons the following term. Please note that the preferred option of payment is either BACS or cash.
Cost of 12 week course £99.60
Membership £10.00
Total due £109.60

WEB SITE
Please check the website for up-to-date information including term dates, a copy of the newsletter and the list of all pupils who have received the Certificate of Achievement from each class.
SUNDAY FUN SESSION
Due to the staff Christmas party on Saturday 9th December we will not have a fun session on Sunday 10th December but will run an additional hour on Saturday 9th.
FUN WEEK
The last week of term is fun week and your child may come along to ANY one of the sessions listed below on the half hour. No pupil will be able to join in midway between sessions. We will adhere to maximum bather load which means that when we reach 35 pupils in a session we will have to ask those that arrive after that number has been reached to wait for the next session to start (this doesn't happen very often!). PLEASE NOTE THE BUSIEST SESSIONS TEND TO BE THE EARLIEST TIMES
The times are as follows:
Saturday 9th December, First session 9.00am - Last session 11.30am
Sunday 10th December, NO SESSION
Monday 11th December, First session 5.00pm - Last session 6.30pm
Tuesday 12th December, First session 5.00pm - Last session 5.30pm
Wednesday 13th December, First session 5.00pm - Last session 6.30pm
May I take this opportunity on behalf of all the instructors and assistants to wish you a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year. We look forward to seeing you all next term.
Best Wishes,
Anne
