BOOKING FOR NEW SWIMMERS IS NOW OPEN!

🏊‍♂️ Bookings for public and new swimmers will open tomorrow, Tuesday, April 1st, at 10:00 AM at CRC Clontarf!

🎉 Available days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday! so be ready to secure your spot! 🏊‍♂️🎉

⚠️ Important Note:
• If your child is 5+ years old, confident in water, and a beginner, they can sign up directly (Frog Level).
• If your child is under 5 or has previous swimming experience, an assessment is required. You can book an assessment through our Parent Portal at www.iswim.ie or via the iClass Pro App.

📌 Important Reminder:
If your child participated in an assessment, please remember their assigned level. You can check this in the assessment results on the iClass App or contact our office if you’re unsure.

📩 Email Subscription Requirement

Yes, it is necessary. This is the only way the system will automatically send you payment notifications, class reminders, or cancellation alerts. Without it, you won’t receive any automated emails, and if you miss a payment deadline, your child’s spot will be automatically released to the waitlist and may be taken by another child, which is beyond our control.

Please ensure this setting is enabled! Keep in mind that this also includes promotional emails about new enrollments and offers—unfortunately, the system does not allow us to separate these notifications.

🏊‍♂️ How Continuous Assessment Works at CRC
At CRC, we operate on a Continuous Assessment system. This allows for ongoing monitoring and evaluation of each child’s progress. Once a swimmer achieves all the required skills for the next level, the system will notify you, and you can book an available spot at the higher level.

⏳ Why Are Lessons 30 Minutes Long? The Science Behind It
Our swimming lessons are 30 minutes long—and this is not by accident! Research in child psychology and learning, including studies from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, suggests that young children have an optimal attention span of 20-30 minutes for structured learning activities.

This duration allows us to:
✔ Maximize skill development – Shorter, focused sessions ensure that children stay engaged and absorb new techniques effectively.
✔ Avoid fatigue – Swimming is a physically demanding skill, and 30 minutes is the ideal balance between practice and endurance without overwhelming young learners.
✔ Ensure progress – We focus on technique and skill-building, not just play. Every minute of the lesson is used efficiently to help your child progress.
✔ Create consistent learning – Studies show that frequent, high-quality sessions are far more effective than longer, infrequent lessons.

By structuring our lessons this way, we maximize the learning experience, ensuring that each child leaves the pool having made real progress.

💳 Payment & Scheduling Details:
• Lesson Fee: €15 per class
• Payments: Monthly, in advance, for the number of sessions in that month
• Class Schedule: Available at https://iswim.ie/time-schedules/
• Cancellation Policy: One-month notice required

💡 Additional Important Payment Info:

• A one-time registration/deposit fee of 65€ is required when signing up for classes. This deposit will be returned once you cancel your membership, provided all terms are met.

• All payments must be made by the 1st of the month before your lesson block starts.

For example, if your lessons begin on April 1st, the system will require you to pay for the monthly lessons plus the monthly deposit. On April 15th, you will receive an invoice to pay for May’s lessons. If payment is not received by the 1st of May your child will be removed from their lessons, your child’s spot will be automatically released to the waitlist and may be taken by another child, and your deposit will be forfeited.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Are there any sibling discounts?
• Yes! Each additional child receives a 10% discount.

📌 Invoice Schedule & Billing Policy

💰 Invoices
Invoices for any unpaid balances are sent out periodically throughout the month. Charges for the upcoming month are raised on the 15th of the current month.

💳 Credit Card on File & Auto Billing
All families are required to keep a valid credit card on file and consent to automatic billing. This simplifies the payment process and reduces administrative follow-up.

📆 Cancellations & Drops
If you wish to stop lessons, we require notice by the 15th of the previous month.
We’ve made the cancellation process simple and flexible so that you never feel locked in.

🔄 Mid-Month Enrolments
Families are welcome to join us at any time. If you enrol mid-month, you will only be charged for the remaining lessons that month, and your billing will align with the regular monthly cycle going forward.

📍 Lesson Locations & Days
✔ Club Vitae Tallaght – Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun
✔ Club Vitae Liffey Valley – Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sun
✔ CRC Clontarf (3 pm-7:30 pm)– Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri and Sat

🛑 New Facility Guideline: Shoe-Free Zones

To improve the hygiene and cleanliness of our changing rooms and shower areas, we are gradually introducing a shoe-free policy in these spaces.👟🥿

In the long term, all parents and children will be asked to either:
• Leave their shoes on the designated shelf, or
• Bring their indoor flip-flops/sliders and store outdoor shoes in their bags inside the changing rooms.

We believe this small change will make a big difference in creating a cleaner, safer, and more comfortable environment for everyone.
