Withdrawal from Lessons
For the protection of our customers, the only valid way of signaling your desire to withdraw from swim lessons will be via email. In order to avoid being charged for the next month of lessons, you must withdraw your child on or before the 5th of each month.
Refunds
When you enroll your student in classes you are reserving a slot for your child that is in high demand. By reserving this spot you are agreeing to pay for your reserved spot independent of your child's attendance. It is your responsibility to make sure that your vacations, appointments and other activities do not interfere with the classes for which you have enrolled. The Swim Studio will offer no tuition refunds for any reason. In addition, annual service fees are non-refundable.
Facility Closures
In the case that the facility is closed due to inclement weather or maintenance, a make up class will be scheduled. A make up class must be completed within four weeks of the originally missed class and is subject to availability as determined by The Swim Studio.
Make-up Classes
Customers are eligible for make up classes due to an absence; this absence must be communicated no less than 24 hours before the scheduled lesson. The make up must be completed within four weeks from the date of the absence and is subject to availability as determined by The Swim Studio. No credits or additional make up classes will be given if the student is unable to attend their scheduled make up class and they are not transferable to any other party.

Instructor Changes
The Swim Studio realizes that we are dealing with the 3 most important things in your life; your time, your money and most of all your children. Our teaching program is designed around giving each individual exactly what he/she needs at that exact time. Our coaches work as a team. It is common for the manager to make the decision to do a coaching change to help a child get through any roadblocks they may be having. The team coaching environment
is intentional as it provides multiple adults communicating the same information to each child. This deepens the child’s acceptance of the Information. A child needs consistency in communication and information. If someone has multiple sources communicating the same information he/she begins to accept, learn, and use the skills accordingly. In the past we tried to keep consistent coaches but the more we reviewed our practices and results we found that those children stuck on a single coach week in and week out actually have stagnation. We are capable of getting a child not only safe in the water but growing as individuals because of our methods, culture, and encouragement.
