Please only register for one lesson set per child. If you are interested in a level that is currently full, please send an e-mail to lessons@fairfieldsswimmingclub.com with the level you would like to be enrolled in as we may be able to open up another class in that session depending on numbers. As there is no guarantee that more classes will open up during a session, it is recommended that you still register your child(ren) in a class that is currently open.
Registration is closed
When you are registered in a Bronze level, please ensure that your child(ren) bring their payment for paperwork/admin from the Lifesaving Society to your instructor on the first day of lessons. The fees are outlined below. Please bring exact change or a cheque made out to Fairfields Swimming Club.
