There have been plenty of disruptions in 2020, and we want to say thank you for your loyalty and resilience throughout the year. It has been wonderful to see our swimmers making progress in a year where we weren’t able to be in the water for periods of time!
We wanted to get in touch to let you know about some upcoming changes next year.
Class prices
2020 was challenging for many businesses, including AUT Millennium as a non-profit organisation. The reality for us is that many of our suppliers have increased their charges, and we’re also adjusting to the government’s wage increase legislation. To ensure we’re able to continue to offer you highly-trained teachers and a great all-round experience, we will be implementing small increases to our class prices in 2021. These are outlined below.

Direct debit frequency
In 2021, we will move to direct debit runs which fall fortnightly on Thursdays. First payment will occur on Thursday 21 January for those who have lessons on Tuesday 2 and Wednesday 3 February. The next payment will be on Thursday 4 February and capture lessons from 4-17 February.
You will be able to see your upcoming payments and pay in advance in your member portal: www.autmillennium.org.nz/portal
You are welcome to pay for terms in advance in portal or at Main Reception if this is convenient for you.
No matter your preferred payment method, we are requesting that you provide us with your direct debit information to secure your lesson spot. This provides security for us as a business, and for you knowing we will hold your spot for you. If we have two consecutive weeks without your DD information, we will open up your spot to another swimmer.
No swimming lessons in school holidays
Many of our families like to get away or spend time together during the school holidays. In 2021, we will be following the school term calendar and will not be running swimming lessons during school holidays. You are enrolled ongoing for the year, but will no longer be charged for lessons during the holidays.
Holiday Intensives will be the focus during the school holidays. We will provide morning and afternoon intensives lessons for all levels, including preschoolers. Stroke, dive and tumble turn clinics will also be an option if your child is needing extra help. In addition to this, we will be aiming to provide water safety classes at the end of the year for the start of 2021/2022 summer.
Make up lessons
We are changing our policy around absences, and will no longer be providing make up lessons in 2021. You will no longer be required to report an absence. If you are missing lessons for a period of time, or have a medical reason, please get in touch with our Swim School team.
We understand this is a change to what you’re familiar with at AUT Millennium Swim School. We appreciate your understanding as we balance what is best for our members with essential operational changes. If you have any questions about any of the above points, please get in touch with us via email: [email protected]
On behalf of all of us involved at the Swim School, we wish you a safe and happy holiday period. Enjoy our beaches, rivers and lakes and practice your swimming safely!
See you in 2021,
The team at AUT Millennium Swim School.
