Swimming guaranteed |
122 Klumpp Rd Upper Mount Gravatt Brisbane, QLD 4122 Australia +61 7 3349 9886 |
Where other swimming centres make claims about their "personal touch", Kitchener's goes one step further, offering a money back guarantee. "You will be happy with your lessons. If you are not, tell us and we will refund the balance of the monies you have paid". In truth it is unlikely that you will take them up on it, as they offer highly professional swim training and therapeutic classes for all ages, in a relaxed atmosphere conducive to quality pool time. Classes are from infant to adult and include hydrotherapy, aqua-aerobics, adult fitness and water awareness classes. Review © 2007, Wcities |
