Our Swimsmart programme has proved very popular this term, with our lower levels Otters, Jellyfish, Flounders and Stingrays currently at capacity at Graham Condon, Jellie Park and Taiora QEII. Pioneer does still have some spaces available for Flounders and Stingrays.
We are working on adding more classes in the near future and ask you to keep an eye on our website for updates on when these become available.
