1.Price

Swimming lessons for children aged 3.5+ are charged at £40 per child, once a month. This pays for a weekly 30-minute lesson for approx. 42 weeks of the year. There will be no lessons at Easter, Summer and Christmas but lessons will still be on through half term holidays. Payment is to be made for 11 months of the year; no payment is needed to be made in August as there are no lessons.

 

Swimmers will be offered a free taster for their first lesson. We cannot guarantee to put siblings and friends in the same class but we will try our best to accommodate where possible. Sibling discounts are available if you have more than one child swimming with us, please contact us for more information.

 

2.Payment

Payment is required before the first lesson to secure your child’s place. Payments are to be made by bank transfer or standing order once a month on the same day. Payments cannot be carried over for missed lessons or transferred to another swimmer. A late payment fee of £10 will be charged if payment is not made in a timely manner.

 

3.Booking

Your child’s place is booked once first payment is received and lessons are booked until you tell us you wish to stop. You will not have to rebook or lose your place as long as payments are up to date.

If you wish to cancel, we require four weeks' notice in writing via email or text. Lessons will need to be paid for during the four weeks' notice.

Unfortunately, we cannot issue refunds if you are unable to attend your lesson as our costs still need to be met.

However, if you can’t make a lesson please let us know before the lesson and we may be able to offer you a replacement lesson. This is subject to availability and not guaranteed. Replacement lessons are only available if payments are up to date and cannot be transferred to another swimmer. A maximum of 5 replacement lessons can be taken each year.

 

4.Cancellations

Once in a while we may have to cancel your lesson; you will be notified of this via the contact details you give us. Please make sure your contact details are up to date and you let us know of any changes.

In the event of a cancellation by us we will issue a refund of £10 for the value of the lesson.
