BlueFit will commence management operations of your facility from Sunday 1st October 2023.
We are thrilled to welcome all Swim Fit facilities, their staff, and customers to the BlueFit family, and we look forward to getting on site and meeting you all in person in a few weeks.
In almost all cases, it will be a case of ‘business as usual’ for members and users.
- There is little change to the Swim Fit staff
- Group Fitness and Learn to Swim class times and instructors remain
- Opening hours of the facility will stay the same
- Your remaining visits on your visit pass are still valid
All membership data has been transferred and we have been able to link to the debit company that holds your credit card or bank details. BlueFit debit all members and swim school families fortnightly in advance and your first debit will be Friday 6th October. If this frequency of payments means you would like to change where the funds are debited from, please contact us on our contact page.
It is important for you to know, there is nothing for you to do in this transfer. Simply continue to use the facilities for your health and fitness needs.
We look forward to meeting you over the coming weeks and building a great connection with the community.
