Parent & Baby classes are a fantastic way to introduce your little one to the wonders of water.
Our Parent & Baby swimming lessons are for children aged 6 months to 3 years, with four to nine students per class.
Each class teaches parents how to assist their babies to feel confident and relaxed in the water. Each 30 minute lesson focuses on developing water confidence, independence and basic swimming through group activities, games and songs.
Parent & Baby lessons are available in five levels based on physical development:
All payments are in the form of regular direct debits every four weeks from your nominated bank account.
Beatty Park Swim School is committed to ensuring the safety of all children at all times.
Do you have a timetable available?
Our lessons run Monday-Sunday, depending on the age and level.
You can view our available classes on our Online Portal.

Do you offer make-up lessons?
We do not offer make-up lessons, but the great news is we do offer complimentary practice passes for any missed lessons.
These are able to be used for general entry to use any of the pool facilities and are automatically added to your card once you have missed a lesson. For more information on complimentary practice passes please click here.
How will I know when my child is ready to move up a level?
When students are ready to move classes, the teacher will advise the parent/guardian of the new level and then direct you to the friendly Swim School reception where you can move to the next available level.
You can also check our Online Portal to see if your child is ready to move up.
Can we swim before or after lessons?
Yes, absolutely!
We happily welcome all our students to swim and practice their skills before and/or after their lessons. Your fees include entry to Beatty Park on the day of the lesson, allowing you to enjoy our pools before and after lessons.
Please be aware that if the student is under 5 then a parent/guardian must accompany and stay within arms length of the children when leisure swimming.
Can parents/guardians and siblings swim during the child's lesson?
Yes, parents, accompanying guardians and/or siblings are able to access the indoor and outdoor pools during their child/children's swim lessons as per the following conditions; Each child’s swim lesson enrolment provides access of one free swim for an accompanying adult, however any additional adults/children will need to pay normal swim entry fees at reception.

What if the class I want is unavailable?
If the class that you want is unavailable, a Swim School team member will contact you to discuss alternative options such as offering you another day/time or waitlisting you for a position in your preferred class.
Do you run by school terms?
We are a continuous program, and classes are offered from late January to mid December without breaking for any school holidays.
Research has shown that this type of perpetual program is fundamental in effectively teaching students.
Can I pay cash for lessons?
Unfortunately we do not have an option for cash payments. Our direct debit system is set up for payments every four weeks from either credit card or cheque/savings accounts.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes, you can cancel at any time.
Please inform us in writing if you'd like to cancel prior to your next direct debit or send us a cancellation of direct debit form, at least 48 hours prior to your next scheduled direct debit payment. Please note that unfortunately if you miss this cut off period, you may have up to four more lessons before ending your time with us as payments are made four weeks in advance.
