6. Do I have to get in the pool with my child?
   
   No. We encourage parents NOT go get in the pool with their child. Our AUSTSWIM qualified instructors find the children are more responsive if not looked after by mum or dad.

7. Will my child in Squad be obliged to enter into Carnivals?
   
   Whilst we encourage all children in Squad to attend Carnivals - there is certainly no obligation to do so.

8. I want to register my child with your Club but don't know where they should be placed - Learn-to-swim or squad?
   
   We ask parents to start their child at 8am Saturday morning with the learn-to-swim group unless they are proficient swimmers. Children will be assessed by the Head Coach and parents will be advised of which group they should attend the following week.

10. So early... Is there a canteen open for breakfast?
    
    Whilst we do not have a canteen in operation, the fund-raising committee sell Tea, Coffee, Juice and Muffins.

    Their deals include:
    Tea/Coffee and a Muffin - $2.00
    Kids Deal Muffin and Juice - $1.00
    

    With environmental issues in mind, The ladies encourage patrons to bring their own coffee mugs but have plenty available for use should you forget.
