Toddlers (Children 2.5-3.5years)
Beginners (children 3.5yrs old and up)

The Instructor reserves the right to move participants from the enrolled class to one which suits them better, depending on progress of the swimmer - this will be at the discretion of the Instructor.

According to SAO, for your child's safety, the accompanied adult must be around and always ready to help out in very very short time if something happened.

Children below the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. This is in line with practice in public pools in Hong Kong. The management may request proof of age when necessary.

All those taking swimming lessons do so at their own risk. All the regulations published by the Students Affairs Office governing the use of the Swimming Pool apply to anyone taking lessons. These regulations are displayed at the pool.

University ID cards will be required to be presented to the pool attendant. If your child does not have a HKUST ID Card, a guest ticket will need to be purchased. An adult must accompany all children attending swimming lessons.

Remarks: In case of enforced closure (e.g. Red or Black Rainstorm of signal T8), the instructor will arrange a make-up class. If the student cannot attend the make-up class. a refund will not be issued. That applies only for enforced closure case.
