    Keep your swimming progress on track this winter with our 13-week Swim for Gold Challenge.

    This program is designed to keep kids motivated through the colder months and make every lesson count!

    • Write your start date and name on the card. 

    • You can begin anytime from Monday 1 June – Sunday 28 June. (Ideally your start date would be the lesson that lands of the first week of June) 

    • Your 13 weeks will run from your chosen start date (some participants may finish in September). 

    3. Get a stamp every week you attend your lesson

    • Each week, show your card to our Swim School team after your lesson to receive your stamp.

    5. Go in the draw to win!

    On your 13th lesson, our team will cut the corner of your completed card and place it into our raffle box. 

    You’ll go into the draw to win a 3‑month free GELSS Swim School membership.
