How To Enrol

Ready to start your family’s swimming journey with us? We’re thrilled to welcome you to the In The Deep community! The enrolment process is different depending on your child’s age.

If Your Child Is Under 3 Years

Children under 3 join our parent-child Squirts program—where water discovery and bonding begin!

We have four levels: Squirteenies (3-6 months) for the golden window introduction, Lil’ Squirts (6-18 months) for bonding in the water together, Big Squirts (18-36 months) for growing confidence, and Super Squirts (18-36 months, advanced) for skill-based progression.

Getting started is simple. Create your account in our Parent Portal, head to the Students tab and select ‘Enrol in Classes,’ then filter by your preferred day and appropriate Squirts level. Choose your class, add to cart, and we’ll send you payment instructions!

Want to try first? We offer one free trial class for all new Squirts families. Complete a trial form or contact us at info@inthedeep.com.au and we'll get this sorted for you!

If Your Child Is 3+ Years

Children joining us for the first time (or returning after a break) need a quick, free 10-minute assessment so we can find their perfect starting level.

Why we assess: We want your child to experience success from their very first lesson! Our skill-based program means everyone starts exactly where they’ll thrive—whether that’s our gentle Lil Gills class for hesitant beginners or one of our more advanced levels.

Booking your assessment is easy. Create your Parent Portal account, click ‘Booking’ and select ‘Assessment,’ choose your preferred day and time, then add to cart and checkout.

Watch our video tutorial or follow our step-by-step guide on how to book an assessment below.

1. Once you're on the portal, click on 'Booking'

2. Select 'Assessment'

3. Select the Term when you'd like the assessment

4. Find your suitable day/time and select "Add to Cart"

5. Add any additional enrolments for other students, confirm your enrolment details, then select Proceed to Checkout to complete your transaction 🎉

What to expect: One of our friendly instructors will spend 10 minutes in the water with your child—no pressure, just gentle observation of their current skills. A supervisor determines the perfect level, then we’ll explain exactly why we’ve chosen their starting point and what they’ll work on first.

The best part? Assessments are completely free—our gift to ensure the best possible start for your child.

Flexible Timing

Mid-term enrolments are welcome! Don’t worry if it’s not the start of term—we charge pro-rata fees based on remaining weeks, so you can start whenever you’re ready.
