A.        We have a progressive programme, many different levels to progress through please refer to the WATERHOLE PROGRESSION CHART, each pupil can stay in the programme as long as they wish until you have reached the level of skill you are looking for, this will vary from pupil to pupil. We have had many start as Babies and are now in the "WATERHOLE COMPETITIVE" Programme, some are the best in N.Z. now. All pupils will progress at their own pace.

Q.        When can I start?

A.        At any time, just ring and book your FREE INTRODUCTORY lesson and just start.

Q.        How do we pay?

A.        Monthly or by the school term. If you start mid month you pay for what's left of that and pay for a full month when the new month starts (most months have 4 weeks but some have 5 weeks.) Clients always pay at the beginning of the month or school term. If you start in the last week of the month you will pay for that week and the next month.
