19.01.2022 Hooray - lockdown in Melbourne has ended and we couldn’t be happier! We know you may have heard that swimming lessons can resume in Melbourne from Monday 9th November. Unfortunately, complexities with hiring facilities mean we have to wait for approval from the Health and Education Departments before hydrotherapy pools can be accessed for lessons.... We are ready and waiting as soon as we are able to access our facilities and look forward to seeing you all!

19.01.2022 UPDATE: At it stands today, it does not look likely that swimming lessons will resume at Caulfield at the beginning of Term 1, 2021. Caulfield Hospital as yet do not have the necessary approvals to reopen their hydrotherapy facility. We recommend looking elsewhere for lessons in the meantime, and will be in touch as soon as we get approval to resume lessons.... We are so sorry for the inconvenience :(
