THOUSANDS of children will jump back into learning water safety and stroke techniques when the Webstar\u2019s Swim School Program resumes.<\/p>\n

The educational classes return to the City of Greater Geelong\u2019s indoor swimming pools on January 18, 2021.<\/p>\n

Cr Peter Murrihy, chair of the council’s leisure and recreation portfolio, encouraged parents to re-enrol in the program and to build their children’s excitement about getting back into the weekly lessons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Webstar program is the best way to help grow your children\u2019s confidence and skills in the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt provides a fun and friendly environment for kids to learn how to be safe and to improve their swimming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Existing members will automatically be enrolled in their same lesson as per March 2020, with further enrolments opening to the general public on January 2, 2021.<\/p>\n

As a thank-you for the ongoing support of the program’s 7,600 members, the first membership debit will be half-price and taken on January 20, 2021.<\/p>\n

The ongoing cost will be the same as 2020, with standard prices at $30 per fortnight.<\/p>\n

The return of the regular classes follows the introduction of a modified Learn to Swim School Summer Program last month.<\/p>\n

More than 1,600 children took part in the restricted four-week program, which ran until December 20.<\/p>\n

Because of the reduced level of access this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the city suspended all of its Swim, Sport and Leisure (SSL) memberships in March but will reactivate them from January 2.<\/p>\n

Members will be offered free access to the centres before the first debit occurs on January 28.<\/p>\n

This period covers eight days paid in advance in March, with the remainder of the month provided free as a thank you gesture for members\u2019 ongoing support.<\/p>\n
