Crèche and Occasional Care

Work out in the gym, enjoy a swim in the pool, participate in a group exercise class, or just enjoy a little 'you' time.

Our childcare:

• Responds to a child’s individual needs and interests
• Stimulates and challenges
• Develops physical and cognitive skills
• Encourages self-expression

All fully registered childcare services at Swim Sport & Leisure welcomes children from six weeks old, and are open Monday to Friday mornings.

Bookings are essential and can be made up to one week ahead by members. Non-members can book from 24 hours prior.

An enrolment form needs to be completed by a parent or carer for each individual child before they attend childcare facilities.

Occasional care allows you to leave your children in our care whilst you are not in the centre and is available at Leisurelink and Splashdown only.

Age groups catered for at each centre*:

• Bellarine Aquatic & Sports Centre: six weeks up to 9 years
• Leisurelink and Splashdown: six weeks up to 10 years
• Norlane ARC: six weeks up to 8 years
  
  *Please note: school age children are only accepted during school holidays, and only if there are available places.
