Absences

Please see below for information relating to absences.

 
 

Short absences

Under 2 weeks

Junior 2 and 3:

To manage class sizes, make up classes are typically not offered for these levels.

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

2-8 weeks

If a swimmer is going to be absent for a period of at least two consecutive full weeks (for example holidays or extended breaks), a request can be made to place the squad position on hold. A small holding fee* applies.

What to do:

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


Medical Absences

2-8 weeks

If a swimmer will be absent for a period of at least two consecutive full weeks for medical reasons, a request can be made to place the squad position on hold. A small holding fee* applies.

What to do:

Complete and submit a Notice of Absence Form together with a medical certificate.

Note: Please advise medical absences as soon as possible as backdating is not permitted


* Squad fees do not apply whilst on hold, however a holding fee of $30 applies for absences of 2-4 weeks or $60 for 5-8 weeks. This ensures the swimmer’s place in their squad is reserved and available upon return.
