• Swimming classes will go ahead in poor weather. The lessons will only be cancelled in the event of an electrical storm, or if the pool is closed. We will notify all enrolled students of any class cancellation.
• All sport/recreation classes are active, and therefore you must bring to the attention of the tutor any physical or health-related impairment that may affect your safety.
• For all short courses involving physical activity, you must arrive before the published course commencement time, or the tutor may refuse to admit you into the session. The schedule for many short courses involving physical activity starts with an OH&S briefing and a warm-up; to miss either may create a hazard to you, which might exclude you from participation in the session.
