A Different Approach

John Sugden Swim School offer a complete approach to swimming, technique, health and fitness.

Section 1

Enrolment 1

First Time Enrolment Process

  • Arrange a suitable time for an assessment with JSSS senior staff via either of the following contacts:
  • Enquiries for Glen Waverly, Balwyn, Boroondara - Email admin@jsss.com.au, Call 0490867499

    Enquiries for Kilsyth - Email hello@jsss.com.au, Call 0472703030

  • Every child needs to be assessed in order to identify the appropriate level for enrolment. We will then be able to offer you time (s) and day (s) relevant to the assessment undertaken.
  • After your child’s assessment is complete and you accept the day and time of lesson(s), JSSS will enrol your child and send an invoice via email.
  • Payment must be made in full by the due date indicated on the invoice. Payment confirms that you have agreed with the time and day we have offered you for your child/children and that you accept these Terms and Conditions. (Please read this document in full)
  • Please note that we cannot hold and guarantee your child/children’s space without payment beyond the due date.

Re-Enrolment Process

  • The School has a term enrolment system (coincides with the Victorian School Terms), which involves JSSS emailing out the invoices in the second last week of each term for the following term.
  • Subject to child/children being promoted or teacher availability, class time (s) may change. The new term invoice will indicate the change.
  • Unless we hear otherwise, we assume that your child/children will be automatically enrolled in the next term.
  • Payment must be made in full by the due date as indicated on the invoice unless with an alternative arrangement/agreement with JSSS.
  • This payment confirms that you have agreed with the time and day we have offered you for your child/children and that you accept these terms and conditions. Please note that we cannot hold and guarantee your child/children’s space without payment beyond the due date.
  • Towards the end of term, your child/children will be assessed by their teacher and/or pool deck supervisor, as to which level he/she will be re-enrolled in next term. This will be indicated via the invoice, usually the second last week of the term.

Re-enrolments are prioritised in the following order:

1. Same day for same day,
2. Change of day and
3. New clients.

Changing Swim Lesson Day / Time / Venue

If parents wish to change child/children’s class day, time or the venue, you must request via email or phone well before the payment due date, to give yourself every possibility to change day, time or venue. There may be limited spots available after the payment due date.

Changing swim lesson day, time or venue is subject to availability.
