How to Pay and Book

The first lesson at Shirley Pool is always a free trial. This ensures that you or your child are happy and in the correct class.

Phone or call in to find a suitable time. If you are unsure which level is right, talk to the receptionist at the pool. Try and arrange a time that you will be able to keep regularly. Assuming the trial is successful payments can be made in several ways:

Direct debit:
(See also Rules for Direct Debit Customers 2007 below)

This is now the most popular method of payment.

All lessons from parent & child through to Turtles are the same price:

£28.00 a month (£31.00 for adults) comes from your bank at the start of each month and covers one lesson a week.

Under this system, if a lesson is missed, it may be made up at another time, where there is space, either as a double lesson or at a second visit.

All general swimming is free of charge if payment is made by direct debit

Monthly distance badge sessions are included.
You can change days or groups as required.

This unique and flexible system means that there will always be 52 lessons a year, regardless of illness or holidays.

Lane swimmers pay just £16.00 a month to swim as often as possible, again via the bank at the start of the month.

At the first visit to the pool, complete the application form and bank details. The only commitment is a months notice, if you wish to stop swimming.

* If paying by Direct Debit you are entitled to swim for free at any appropriate public session. If a member of Tadpoles or Turtles you no longer need to pay annual subs as long as you pay by direct debit. If you are paying for swimming lessons by direct debit, and you or your child misses a lesson it is possible to make this up by coming to another lesson of the same ability the following week. (Subject to availability).
