Student Progression
The advantages of swimming lessons are that your child is not only developing their physical/motor skills, but also developing greater confidence, social skills, and improved cognitive and linguistic skills during each and every lesson. This is exciting, because you can have the confidence that each lesson will have positive effects on many aspects of your child’s life.

Usually students progress from one level to the next in two or three sessions (10– 15 weeks). Every child develops differently; so do not be upset if your child is taking longer to progress. Children tend to reach plateaus in their swimming development. These plateaus are important because it allows a child to perfect certain skills and put them into long-term memory before advancing to more difficult skills.

Future Session Registration
You may keep the same day/time while still advancing providing the entire class remains similar in abilities. If you wish to participate in consecutive sessions, please pre-register & pay in the office by the deadline specified on the session calendar (available in the office each session). Please be aware that we cannot guarantee the same day/time, if you register/pay past the deadline, but we will work with you to find another class.

*Also, be aware that instructor changes may occur without notice, to ensure program efficiency.

Refunds
If we are unable to schedule you during the time ranges/days requested, you will receive a full refund. If we DO find a spot within your request and you choose not to accept it, your registration fee will remain valid for the year and your lesson fee will be refunded. NOTE: If you cancel your lessons eight days or more before the session begins, you will receive a refund minus $25 cancellation fee. If you cancel during the week (7 days) before the session begins you may receive a refund minus 25% of the lesson fee. If you cancel during the first week of the session there is no refund, but you will receive a credit for a future session minus 25% of the lesson fee. Unfortunately, we DO NOT prorate/refund for vacations, recitals, scheduling conflicts, or instructor changes.

Pro-Rating Lessons
If there is a holiday or other cancel date on your scheduled day, you will be given a pro-rated price. We will also pro-rate your fees if you register after the session has started. Unfortunately, we DO NOT prorate/refund for vacations, recitals, scheduling conflicts, or instructor changes.

Make Ups
To help keep cost of lessons down, we cannot offer make-ups. Remember, your child’s instructor is paid to be here whether or not you show up for your swim lesson. With extenuating (extended illness, etc.) circumstances, we will allow a partial credit for future session payment. With private lessons, 24-hour notice is required to reschedule. We do not allow instructors to teach if they are contagiously ill, but will do our best to provide a substitute teacher. If a substitute is unavailable & we cancel your lesson you will receive a make-up or a credit, but unfortunately we DO NOT provide make-ups for vacations, recitals, scheduling conflicts, or instructor changes.
