Adelaide Aquatic Centre Relocation
The Parks Recreation and Sports Centre (The Parks) is excited to welcome Adelaide Aquatic Centre (AAC) students to our Swimming Lessons program.
There are two approaches for AAC students to transfer to The Parks.
- Transfer into a standard class prior to 17 June
View our class information and timetable. This approach is enrolling as a 'typical' new student online, starting lessons at The Parks within the week and forgoing the AAC special $150 Sport Voucher, which may suit some to enrol into a class day/time well suited to them. - Wait until 17 June when we open "AAC Exclusive" new classes -
- New classes labelled "AAC Exclusive" will be published and available for online enrolment as of 17 June. The first class of these "AAC Exclusive" classes does not start until after 15 July so that you remain eligible for the AAC special $150 sport voucher. We are in the process of hiring teachers for these classes and are unable to confirm days/times for these new classes prior to 17 June.
- If none of the new "AAC Exclusive" classes are suitable, or they book up quickly, complete the Manual Enrolment Request form below indicating your preferred class and our staff can manually enrol your child and set them to not start until 15 July. The request form will not be published until 17 June.
Form instructions
- Only submit a manual enrolment request if there are no available/suitable classes labelled "AAC Exclusive". View current classes and the live timetable. Please specify your preferred class day/time and we will manually enrol your child and set them to start week commencing 15 July 2024.
- Before submitting a manual enrolment request, you must create a free Guest/Parent and corresponding child/student account in Perfect Gym. We are unable to process your manual enrolment request until your account is created.
- Submit one form per student. This form is only a request; your child is not enrolled until confirmed by a staff member.
- Please be patient. We will respond to requests in the order they are received, however, this may take 2-3 business days.

First Debit
Classes labelled 'Adelaide Aquatic Exclusive' start on 15 July with a first direct debit on 18 July.
Enrolling into a standard class will result in an immediate start (next class after enrolment) and you will be charged at the first Thursday direct debit post enrolment.
The Adelaide Aquatic Level Mapping document provides a guide as to which class to enrol into. This is particularly helpful when reviewing our live class timetable and checking for day/time suitability.
When completing an enrolment online, there will be a quick online questionnaire to assign a level to the student. There is the chance this varies slightly from the Adelaide Aquatic Level Mapping - don't stress, just enrol into the level specified by the questionnaire.
On-site supervisors will be available over the first couple of weeks to ensure students are in the correct level and will make adjustments as required.
We apologise for this complexity, however, there is currently a National shortage of swimming lesson teachers, and as such the number of new AAC Exclusive classes made available is dependent on the number of teachers we can hire and the number of teachers which transfer from AAC to The Parks. Further complicating this, the $150 sport voucher requires continued enrollment at AAC up to 15 July, and hence we have no visibility on the number of swimming teachers which may transfer from AAC to The Parks.
To assist with the transition to your new Centre, Learn to Swim students still enrolled at the Adelaide Aquatic Centre up until 14 July 2024 will receive a $150 credit towards swimming lessons at your new Centre.
The process will be confirmed in June, noting that it will closely resemble the State Government’s Sports Voucher initiative, with a $150 credit being applied to accounts after initial enrolment is complet.
The Parks Recreation and Sports Centre will be adding multiple additional classes/levels; the exact lesson times your child was attending at Adelaide Aquatic may not be available. However, we have added as many as possible to cater for students relocating to The Parks.
Once bookings open oin mid-late June, you will have the option to book a class time that best suits you.
Absolutely! You can transfer to participate in The Parks swimming lessons program. Simply fill out the enquiry form provided below, and our swimming lessons team will reach out to facilitate the transfer process.
