We have now emailed everyone who submitted their Learn to Swim expression of interest (EOI) by the deadline (29 February 2024) with their confirmed alternative venue placement.

If you did not receive this email, please get in contact with us at AACUserInfo@sa.gov.au.

Placement information has been passed onto the confirmed swimming centre, who will contact you to finalise your placement and provide you with the necessary details required for a smooth transition.

We will now start reviewing all EOI submissions received after 29 February 2024. We will contact you during May 2024 with your placement information.

If you are still to complete your EOI for Learn to Swim classes, we appreciate you doing this as soon as possible so we can assist you with this transition process.

All transitioned placements/enrolments will commence swimming at the alternative swim centre in July. More information about the transition process will be shared closer to the time.
