​How wonderful it is to be warm again! It certainly is fantastic to see so many happy faces attending their lessons again this term.

​We have had some exciting times at Dipadees over the last few months.  You may have noticed there are some new staff on deck, in the pool and on reception.  Our very experienced reliable team are also still hard at work. How awesome!  We have run training for Competitive Strokes and Learn to Swim teaching and these courses were well attended.​

Friday night Race night has kicked off again and is becoming quite a social swim meet.  If your child is in Breather 2, Super Dippers or Missiles you are welcome to bring them down to have a look or just a sausage from the BBQ.

Storm season is upon us now meaning at times we may have to cancel a class last minute, rather than risk having children in the water during an electrical storm. If the weather is looking ominous in the lead up to your lesson time, please be sure to check your emails (including junk folder) and text messages prior to coming to lessons. Usually the storms pass quite quickly so we may only have to cancel lessons for an hour or so whilst it passes. If we cancel your lesson due to an electrical storm we will automatically issue you with a make up token. If you prefer a credit please email swim@dipadees.com . If the class is cancelled while the child is swimming the children will be taken to a dry area to wait for pick up.

Going to be absent from your lesson?

Level Profile - "Rocket"

I'm around 5 years or older and relaxed in water, I can glide or kick through the water with my face in for a metre or more. I am learning to streamline, build strong core muscles and long kicking legs as well as developing my breath control, all in preparation for learning my freestyle arms. Just like building strong foundations in a house, learning to Rocket (streamline) is the foundation to becoming a stronger, safer lifelong swimmer. Building a good body position and strengthening my kicking ability will be complimented with the continued development of my safety skills such as treading water. ​

Starting prep in 2023?

If you have a little one starting prep in 2023 and need to change times and or days,
​then please pop on to our 
starting prep page to let us know more about your needs.

SwimSAFER

As the weather warms up this is a timely reminder to implement the layers of protection
​following the SwimSAFER message:
Be Aware – Constant supervision
Be Secure – Maximum barrier protection
Be Confident – Basic swimming and water safety skills
Be Prepared – Emergency action plan
​
We will be closed for Christmas from Friday 23 December to Thursday 5 January inclusive.
Learn to swim customers are not charged for lessons that fall during our Christmas/New Year closure. 
And a reminder, we have a perpetual program that continuously rolls over from month to month.
This means we will hold your usual lesson time and day for when we reopen in January, unless you advise us otherwise.
If you are going away outside of our Christmas / New Year close dates, we ask that you please pop
​on to your customer portal and mark yourself away. 

From the Dipadees Team.
