    We welcome children from the ages of 4 months and up in our Aquatics Academy.

    We will take a recurring card payment on the 23rd for the next month's lessons. You will be charged for the number of lessons in the next month. If payment does not go through we will attempt further recurring card payment. You will also receive an email with a payment link to fix the account. To ensure continuity of your lessons, please pay the outstanding amount within 1 week. You can also pay on the client portal or in the club.

    If you cannot make a lesson for medical reasons, please email a Doctor's certificate to swim@gymplus.ie within a week of the lesson date and we will credit that lesson for you, reducing your payment next month. In all other circumstances, your child will forego their session.

    Unfortunately, we are unable to hold spaces and there is a likelihood that your child's place will not be available to return to. We recommend continuing the lessons till your child has finished the programme.

    Please send an email to swim@gymplus.ie by the 15th of the current month to enable us time to cancel the next month's payment. Please state your child's full name, the location and day and time of their lessons.

    It will only be possible to do so if there is available space at the requested time. If no space is available, the original booking time and date will remain in place.

    To keep your private lesson time slot, we require you to keep your account in credit, otherwise this time will become available for others to book. A minimum of three consecutive lessons must be booked. To secure your child's private swim lesson, payment must be made at time of booking.

    We have limited spaces in our clubs for 1:1 private lessons; any available slots can be booked at the reception desk. Please note the minimum sessions bookable is three and these must be paid for in advance. The cost of a private child's 1:1 lesson is €40 for 30 minutes.

    Yes, we do adult swimming lessons across all our pools. Please contact your local club for times and availability.

    We kindly ask you to contact us directly by email to cancel your lesson giving more than 12 hours' notice in advance of the class time. This will result in a 50% credit being applied to your child's account, as we will still be paying the teacher for their time. Cancellation of a private lesson with less than 12 hours' notice will result in full charge of the lesson cost.

    We love building relationships with local schools and regularly take groups for swimming lessons and other activities. Please contact your local Gym Plus Club.
