Outside of Lesson Access
Outside of lesson access
As a Swim School student, your child has access to the Centre throughout the school year - not just during lesson times, but also outside of lessons. This is a great opportunity to practice swimming skills and enjoy the facilities.
Please note: Access is paused during the 6‑week summer holiday break.
- For children under the age of 6, this access includes entry for the responsible person to the Centre and pool.
- For children under the age of 11, this free access includes entry for the responsible person for supervision purposes.
We ask that you pay for any other accompanying persons at the Customer Service desk upon arrival.
Absence Policy
If your child is unwell and you have a medical certificate, we will credit your Swim School account for the missed lesson once the certificate is provided within 7 days of the absence. If you're unable to see a doctor, we kindly ask that you refrain from bringing your child to swim lessons. When they're feeling better, you can take advantage of out-of-lesson access to help them continue practicing their skills.
Supervision
All children must be supervised by a responsible person aged over 16 while at the Doone Kennedy Hobart Aquatic Centre, including during class times. Our teachers may need you to attend to your child during class, so we appreciate you staying close by.
When not in classes, all children aged under 6 years old must be accompanied in the water by the responsible person aged over 16.
Make-up Lessons
Makeup lessons are not offered in our any of the Aquatic programs.
