Parent participation

Parents/caregivers are in the water with their child to quite an advanced level so that they can share in the learning experience. For more information email us at info@canterburyswimschool.co.nz or go to our Contact Us page.

EzySwim booking

We operate a booking system called EzySwim, where your booking will continue throughout the year, including school holidays, except for our four week closedown period which is from the week prior to Christmas to mid January.

  • We are closed for public holidays, ie  King’s Birthday, Labour Day, Show Day, Anzac Day, Waitangi Day, Matariki, as well as the entire Easter period from Good Friday through to Easter Monday.
  • With EzySwim, even though your booking carries on – you can still take holidays! In fact, in addition to those listed above, you can take a maximum of four more weeks of them! You just need to let us know four weeks in advance when you want to take your holiday entitlement and we will not charge you for those weeks.
  • You can also place a hold on your lessons! If you are wanting to take an extended break, ie planning an overseas trip, or not wanting to swim at all for a couple of months, just let us know in writing four weeks in advance and we will put your booking on hold. We will place your child back into a suitable class on your return.

Customers new to our afterschool programme are required to sign up initially for 3 months, after which your booking will roll over monthly unless you let us know otherwise.
