Swimming terms & conditions, guidelines and fees information
Membership
Swimming is available to DSRHB members at the current annual membership rate.
Acceptance of terms
By registering for swimming, you agree to the following terms and conditions.
Commitment and attendance
Swimmers are expected to attend weekly sessions throughout the term.
We understand that illness, family commitments, and other circumstances can occasionally prevent attendance.
Families should advise the pool if they are unable to attend a session.
Fees and funding
Term fees vary depending on the pool and are typically between $150 and $200 per term (as at April 2026 and subject to change).
Families contribute $50 per term.
DSRHB seeks external funding to subsidise the remaining cost and may contribute from its own reserves where funding does not fully cover programme costs.
Any fee changes will be communicated in advance.
Payments, missed sessions and cancellations
The family contribution must be paid in full before the start of the term to confirm a swimmer's place.
No refunds or make-up sessions are available for missed lessons.
Up to three missed sessions per term are included in the subsidised fee.
If more than three sessions are missed during a term, families will be responsible for the cost of any additional missed lessons. For example, if six sessions are missed, the cost of three additional lessons will apply.
If a swimmer withdraws from a term after registration, a cancellation fee may apply.
DSRHB reserves the right to postpone, reschedule, or cancel sessions if required.
Supervision
Parents or caregivers are responsible for supervision before and after sessions.
A parent or caregiver must remain poolside during sessions where this has been agreed in advance.
Pool rules
All swimmers and families must follow the policies and guidelines of the HB Regional Aquatic Centre, Napier Aquatic Centre, and/or Flaxmere Pool.
Automated pool messages
You may receive automated emails or notifications from the pool regarding absences or make-up lessons. These messages are system-generated and may not apply to DSRHB swimming sessions. The attendance and fee policy outlined above applies.
