Fernside Dolphins Ltd

Fernside Dolphins Ltd We are small friendly swim school situated in Fernside, Rangiora. Our price for a group lesson is $ We are a chlorine free pool.

Our swim school caters for all ages from preschoolers to 100 year olds!! Our classes are a maximum of three per class with some private classes available. There is only one class operating in the pool at any time hopefully meaning there are less distractions for the children. Our charges are $13 per child per lesson or $26 for a private lesson.

Good morning everyone. This is my last post as Fernside dolphins as we have now sold our home and moved on to other adventures. I am sad that the new owners are not continuing with the Swim school but hopefully someone will see the need for a another swim School in the area and start a new business. Thank you to all of you for your support over the years , although I am excited by our new venture, I will miss seeing you all and teaching the kids. Take care everyone.

Hi there. I am afraid I am full for the three week block. I am sorry if I haven’t privately messaged you - thank you so much for all your enquires. I am hoping that I will be able to lessons again later in the term but it will all depend on the house sale. I wish I could fit everyone in.

Someone has just very kindly pointed out to me that 23 October is labour day therefore a public holiday. As people will probably be away for the long weekend I will move Monday the 23rd to Monday, 30 October.  I am very limited on dates due to the offer on the house I’m afraid, hence we are only open for three weeks to get as many people for swimming lessons as I can in that time frame.😊😊😊

I am sorry if I haven’t contacted everyone yet. I have had an overwhelming response to my post about lessons and I’m trying to work my way through all the messages. I will put a post out when I have filled all the spaces. Please be patient with me I am doing my best.

I have had a massive response to my post yesterday and have received many messages, comments, emails and texts. Please bear with me while I work through everything and I will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible.

Good morning everyone.

I hope everyone is well, it is been a while since I have posted on here.

Unfortunately the sale of our house has not yet confirmed therefore I am thinking of doing a block three week set of lessons Monday to Thursday in term four, and I just wanted to gauge how much interest there would be in this before I set dates etc. Please would it be possible for anyone who may be interested to message me. There will be a mixture of private and group lessons and you can book as many times as you like in those three weeks. I will be the teacher for the lessons if there is enough interest. Thank you, Sarah.

Thank you to everyone for all your kind words, gifts and cards this week given to all of us here at Fernside, dolphins. On behalf of Di, Louise, Sam, Susan, Tara and myself I’d like to say I huge thank you to all of you, our wonderful customers. As yet the sale of our home has not gone unconditional so watch this space for further updates! All the best everyone and once again, thank you so much for swimming with us here at Fernside dolphins.

Good morning everyone. Sadly, this is our last week here at Fernside dolphins. I would like to thank everybody for swimming with us and letting us be part of your children’s swimming journey. I am sad the business will not be continuing. I wish everybody all the best.

Hi there

I just want to let you know that my family and I have accepted an offer on our house which sadly requires us to close the swim school at the end of this term. The sale does not go unconditional until the 29 June at the earliest however the purchasers have stipulated that we must close on 1 July. If for any reason the sale does not confirm I will continue to run swim classes but this will be structured very differently due to some of my staff, understandably, looking for other jobs given the situation.

Time has gone quickly, we are into our 10th year and it saddens me so much that we have to close. I started this business to provide small swim classes so learning is more individualized and fun believing that every child is unique and has different learning needs. If anyone knows of anyone who is able to and interested in running a swim school in North Canterbury I would be more than happy to help set this up although I will not be able to run it as we are moving on to other ventures. I strongly feel it is desperately needed in our region and am sad we will no longer continue.

I would like to thank my wonderful staff who have been amazing – I could most definitely not have done any of this without them. They have supported me through COVID and lockdowns, personal difficulties and finally the sale of our home. I could not have asked for a better support team. I would also like to say a huge thank you to my incredible customers, some of whom have been coming for many years. It has been wonderful watching the children grow in confidence and ability in the water – some with smiles on their faces others not so much !

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Wishing you all the very best,

Sarah
