  • Can I pay termly or weekly?

    No, We run on a monthly basis and fees are billed monthly, one month in advance.

  • How do I pay for lessons?

    Active bookings are ONGOING with recurring billing and all payments are processed through the iClassPro app. 


     When you book with Easyswim you are required to set up your billing arrangements which requires you to provide a payment method of either a credit card/debit card or bank account.  Your card details will be securely saved to your account – it is important that ‘recurring billing’ is selected to allow up coming fees to be automatically deducted from your account.  Fees are automatically deducted from your account on the last working day of each month. 


     At the time of booking you will be charged a pro-rata fee for the remaining lessons of the month, then on the last working day of the month, fees will be debited (unless we have had a cancellation in writing prior to the 25th of the month) 

  • Can I make a cash payment?

    Yes, we still accept cash payments at our pools. Please follow these steps to ensure your payment is processed correctly:

    Place the exact payment in an envelope.

    Clearly write the student's full name, their lesson day and time, and what you are paying for on the front of the envelope.

    Deposit the envelope into the secure lockbox at the pool or hand it directly to the pool supervisor.


    Your account will be credited once the payment has been processed by our office.

  • How do I update my credit card or bank account details?

    Internet Bank transfers are NOT accepted.

  • How can I get a statement or receipt?

    You can generate your own statements and receipts at any time through the customer portal.


    1. Log in to your iClassPro Customer Portal.
    2. Go to the My Account section.
    3. Select Transaction History.
    4. From there, you can view and print a statement or individual receipts.

    If you have any queries, please feel free to contact our Customer Service Team.

  • How do I stop my direct debits?

    To stop all future payments, you must cancel your booking.


    Cancellations must be sent in writing to book@easyswim.co.nz before the 25th of the month to avoid being charged for the following month.


    It is important to cancel before this cut-off date, as our billing cycle is finalised on the 25th. If you miss the cut-off, your payment for the next month will be processed, and your booking will continue until the end of that month.

  • How do I change my lesson time or move to the next level?

    2. Go to My Account.
    3. Select the student you wish to transfer and click the Enrolments icon.

    You will receive an email confirming the successful transfer.



    Please note: An additional charge may apply if the new booking provides an extra lesson within the current month.



    If you have selected a ‘Waitlist Only’ class you will be added to the waitlist and when a space becomes available you will be notified via email.  You have 24 hours to confirm whether or not they would like to accept the space.  It is important to note that if you have transferred into a waitlisted class your current booking remains active. If you want to cancel the booking you need to notify the office in writing to drop the booking. 

  • Why do I have two bookings after my child moved up a level?

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.
  • What happens if I transfer into a 'Waitlist Only' class?

    If you transfer into a waitlist only class your existing booking still remains active.  If you wish to drop your booking while you wait for the waitlisted class you need to notify the Customer Services Team by sending an email (monthly charges still stand but make-up tokens will be generated for remaining lessons).  Alternatively you can contact the office and explore alternative options whilst you wait for your preferred space.
