How to Book in for an Assessment on First Class

Only children OVER the age of 3 need to come in for an assessment.

  • An Assessment is the first step to joining us at In The Deep and a wonderful way for us to introduce you and your child to our pool.
  • Here your child will hop in the water for a quick swim, our staff will assess their swim ability and place them in the most beneficial level.

  • If your child is UNDER the age of 3, they are ready to swim in our Squirts classes. Click here for more information.
