18.01.2022 Hi everyone, we nearly made it, we have been actively working towards a safe opening, endless staff training and implementations of new systems for our opening ...on Monday 13th July. We are so devastated after all our planning to not be opening next week due to the new lockdown recently announced. With the support from the community and our clients, we will once again get through this and will aim for a fabulous re-opening after the 6 week lockdown. If you have paid for Term 3, your placements are already confirmed and your payments will be pushed forward and adjusted to when lessons re-commence. If you have not yet paid and want to secure your placements, please ensure you pay a deposit to lock in your spot & receive your keytag. Your support has been very important to us and has been a driving force in keeping us positive and actively creating a hygienic and safe environment for you and your children. We wish you all well over the next 6 weeks and will touch base closer to the time with an official opening date for August. Our office hours will be Monday to Friday 9am 12pm. Take care Kindest regards Management and staff Saltwater Swim School
