Swim Lesson Policies

Registration

All registrations must be completed online prior to the class start date. Early registrations help us plan accordingly for instructors and space need for a successful class.
Registration request after the deadline will be decided on a case to case basis, based on class size and instructor’s discretion.

Swim wear and gear

All participants are required to wear a swim suit in the water.
Girls with long hair should have their hair tied up and a swim cap on.
All participants are recommended to bring their own goggles. Instructors do not have goggles for participants to borrow.
Participants will need to have their own towels.
If participants would like to wear a shirt over their suit it should be a swim shirt that is tight fitted so it does not cause drag while swimming.

Cancellation/Make Ups

If a participant misses a group class, there are no available make ups. We recommend talking with the instructor to help ensure they get caught up at the next class.
Private lessons must give a minimum of a 24-hour notice if they are not going to be at their lesson to have a chance to reschedule. Less than a 24-hour notice is subject to loss of fee and no make-up option.
If programming is cancelled by the Swim Lesson Coordinator a make-up date will be offered, if available, and if not participants will receive a credit for the missed class.
To receive a refund for a registration the request must be made 48-hours prior to the first class.
No refunds will be given after the session begins except due to medical reasoning with a doctors note.

Class Advancement

Class advancement is based on the participant’s ability to successfully perform all the required skills in the level.
Participants that are not able to perform all the required skills should repeat the same level.
Each level has prerequisites that participants should be able to demonstrate on day 1.
If a participant is not successful in meeting the prerequisite skills, they will not be able to continue in that class.
