What is the Active Kids Voucher?

The Active Kids program is one of the more than 70 NSW Government rebates and savings that help you to save on everyday costs. The program was developed as an initiative to increase activity in the youth of NSW.

Each year families are eligible to receive a $100 voucher from the state government to use towards ongoing sports lessons.

These vouchers are available for each child between the ages of 4.5 years old and 18 years old. To be eligible for the Active Kids Voucher the child must be enrolled in school and have a Medicare card.

Each year these families are eligible to receive a $100 voucher to use towards the cost of swimming lessons. To be eligible for the First Lap Voucher the child must not be enrolled in school and be listed on a Medicare card.

Complete the form below to have your voucher used for one of our programs. Our staff will process your voucher and you will receive a confirmation email and a credit applied to your account when it has been processed.

If it has been a while and you still have heard nothing, feel free to contact our friendly Customer Support team on 1300 252 583. 

Please ensure you list your child’s full name and the correct voucher number as this may delay the time taken to process and redeem your vouchers. If you have used your voucher for another program it will no longer be valid and therefore can not be used by BlueFit.

As per conditions of Service NSW, the Active Kids voucher must be used for a structured program for a minimum of 8 weeks duration.

If the child cancels out of their BlueFit program without using the entire amount of the Active Kids Voucher, the amount will stay on your account as a credit, unless the program runs for a fixed term.

Non-attendance in a program does not entitle credits to the voucher.

Under no circumstances is the Active Kids Voucher redeemable for cash. The vouchers are non-refundable or transferable.

PYJAMA WATER SAFETY WEEK RECAP

soulroll 17/04/2023

During the week of Monday 20th March, BlueFit Swimming ran an entire week dedicated to teaching students basic water safety skills.

Here at BlueFit, we pride ourselves on keeping the local community safe and educating students about how to swim safely.

This year to help bring some fun to such a serious topic, our team encouraged students to come dressed in their pyjamas!

Throughout the week, our team of highly qualified instructors taught our students a specific water safety program. The program incorporated a range of aquatic survival skills and rescue techniques. The life-saving activities and education are ability appropriate ranging from a poolside ‘fall and recover to wall’ up to ‘land to water’ rescues and survival sequences.

Our team had so much fun and cannot thank our incredible family of students enough for their participation!

Check out some images from our Pyjama Water Safety Week below!
