Hi everyone. Welcome to the June edition of Dipadees eNews.  ​

At Dipadees Swim School we keep the water temperature at a toasty 32.5 degrees.
​
Did you know we also have coffee or hot chocolate at reception for those cooler days?

The benefits to swimming over winter from Royal Life Saving Society.

• Keep kids swimming in winter to retain and develop their skills.
• Regular swimming lessons during the colder months allow for safe water fun during summer!
• Prevent drowning. Maintain knowledge. Learn skills. 

Don't forget swim lessons are on at your usual day and time over the school holidays. ​

​Increase to swim fees
​from 1st July

As per our email on the 14th June, we would like to let all our customers know that swim lesson prices will increase by approximately 0.90c per lesson commencing from the 1st July direct debit. We have kept our rise below that of the annual CPI and wage increases, as we know so many are doing it tough right now.
