Absences

Please see below for information relating to absences.

 
 

Short absences

LESS THAN 2 WEEKS

Junior 2 and 3:

Swimmers attending two classes per week who are absent for a short period are unable to make up the classes missed.

All other squads:

In instances when swimmers are unable to attend for a short period, we recommend trying to attend extra classes upon returning.

Planned Absences

MINIMUM 2 WEEKS

In instances when a swimmer is going to be absent for a period of at least two weeks due to overseas travel, family holidays, etc, an application can be made for fees to be adjusted/placed on hold. 

What to do:

Complete and submit a Notice of Absence form no later than 7 days prior to the period of absence.

Note: Up to two applications may be submitted per year for planned absences. A $10 administration fee applies.

Medical Absences

Minimum 2 weeks

If a swimmer will be unable to attend classes for a period of two or more weeks due to a significant injury or illness, an application can be made to have the fees adjusted. 

What to do:

Complete and submit a Notice of Absence form together with a medical certificate which notes that the swimmer is unable to attend classes for at least two weeks due to their medical condition.

Note: For medical absences, 50% credit is applied for the first week of absence and 100% credit is applied for each subsequent week.

Please note:

  • In the event of cancellation of enrolment during a planned or medical absence, the 30 day notice period will commence at the end of the period of absence

  • Swimmer attendance is tracked by teachers and the pool entry system

  • Communication of absence needs to be by email so we have a record that notice has been given (communication by text message, voicemail or phone will not be sufficient)
