Rebookings now open

Quack! Time for some Duck news….
What a year! Another lockdown which seemed to go on forever but so grateful we have been able to get the kids back into the water. They have done so well too 😊.

Practice makes perfect…
First and foremost, swimming is not just a warm weather activity but in the summer months we are more inclined to go to the beach or pool more often than we would in the winter months. For now, let’s just look at going to the aquatic centre once a week in addition to Duck and Dive classes.

Introducing the new Splashabout “Duo” Happy Nappy (no disposable nappy required!)

Duck and Dive are on the look out for new teachers!
Is there an inner teacher in you…?

FOR THE DIARY – Re-booking deadline of Wednesday 8th December @ 5pm

How does re-booking work?
Everyone will be moving up to the next level where new skills and activities are introduced that are relevant to your baby’s physical and cognitive skills set.

Your child will be offered the same class day and time (children aged 3+ years may have to change). To ensure we cater for you, please ensure you have booked in by the deadline of Wednesday 8th December @ 5pm

After this date, we open up to the babies on our wait list – so don’t miss out and lose your spot!

Steps to re-book

STEP 1 – To re-book – go to our website duckanddive.com.au and click on Parent Portal in the top right corner of the home page.

STEP 2 – Login and book into your current class time

STEP 3 – “add product purchase” (new nappy, kickboard, cool toys)

STEP 4 – If you would like to change your lesson time email us BEFORE THE DEADLINE. DO NOT change your class time online, email us a request.

If for some reason you won’t be joining us in Term 3 please let us know via a quick call or email.

Can I get a refund once term starts or transfer fees to next term?

No – unfortunately once term is underway you won’t be able to get a refund if your circumstances change. You will have the opportunity to review the T&C’s before making payment.

Upcoming NON event ☹ …. Photoshoot!

Sadly, due to operational reasons, we will be unable to hold our amazing photoshoot this term or next.

All being well we will be able to hold one next year.

Fingers and toes crossed!

If another family member or friend would like to attend lessons and swim your baby….

From time to time we understand that mummies and daddies are away for a lesson and an alternative family member may need to swim with your baby.

The baby has to be settled and relaxed with the new carer.

For the comfort and safety of your baby the carer MUST also be:

– Water confident
– Comfortable with baby handling
– Able to speak and understand English
– Able to carry out instruction as asked by the teacher.

Before attending a lesson ensure they:

– Understand and can perform “name, ready, go’s”, making sure water is poured over the forehead

– Run through how our classes work

– LISTEN to the teacher, COPY all her actions, ASK if unsure

– ALWAYS ensure baby wears the correct gear i.e. disposable swim nappy and Splashabout Nappy.

Most of all we want bub to be happy and comfortable in the water and not distressed.
