Swim School Newsletter - July 2019

It is the final week of lessons at Neptune for the 2018/19 teaching year and it has been a great year. We have seen many of our older swimmers reach the end of their learn to swim journey and move on to alternative activities. We have welcomed new assistants who will soon be progressing on to their full teacher training courses. It has been a pleasure for all our teachers to deliver lessons to our swimmers. All our staff are looking forward to a well earned summer holiday break.

It is with sadness that we will be saying goodbye to some of our very familiar faces in September. Blaine will be leaving Neptune for university to study Paramedical Science and Gemma will be leaving her weekday lessons for university to study to become a teacher. Gemma will remain in post on her Saturday morning lessons. We would like to wish them all the best in their studies!

We will be welcoming some new faces to the team as we interview for new teachers over the summer break. We can now introduce Steve to our teaching team. Some of the Thursday swimmers have already met Steve who will be joining Steph to assist in running the swim school and will be running some lessons across the program.

We are very close to having the final teaching timetable for next year. There are still some TBC lessons but as soon as these classes are finalised we will contact customers

There has been some confusion with regard to when our lessons run throughout the term. I have attached a yearly time table to indicate the final lesson of each ½ term.

You can also find your next lesson date on the home portal system, details of how to sign up for home portal can be found later on in this newsletter.

Now re-enrolment is now complete we will begin setting up direct debits for September. This will be a staggered process so don't worry if you don’t have a notification for a couple of weeks. All DD’s will be set to activate from 1st September. No money will be taken before this date.

Just a quick reminder that if any of your child’s personal details have changed you can notify us by competing an update swimmer form by following the link below. An up to date email address and mobile number are essential to us communicating with you about any short notice changes in your child's lessons. Also if any medical details have changed please make sure you let us know so we can inform your child’s teacher

UPDATE FORM

We would like to remind parents that at Neptune we have an online portal where you can check your child’s progress, see what badges they have earned and when your next lesson is. You can even link accounts so you can see more than 1 child’s progress on 1 account.

To register to use the portal system you will require your child's membership number which can be found on your original booking email, your postal code and child’s DOB. If you do not have your child's membership number please email Steph and we can send it out to you

We still have some spaces remaining on our upcoming crash courses at St.Nicholas School in Chippenham. These courses are suitable for ducklings, turtles and jellyfish 1 swimmers. They prove a great way to keep swimming momentum going over the summer holidays and are perfect to keep children active!
