Terms & Conditions

Bookings & Refunds

The term is for 13 weeks and we ask that payment be made via registering for monthly GoCardless direct debit installments OR payment can be made in full via bacs or cash at time of booking. We run our classes right through the academic year, usually with a break for the month of August & around 2 weeks for all families over Easter & Christmas. Classes can be cancelled 10 days before the start of the course and a full refund will be issued. If a class is cancelled within 10 days of the start of the course then cancellation may be made via email for which a full refund will be issued minus a £25 admin fee per child, plus a deduction for any lessons within the 10 days. If you wish to cancel beyond 10 days into the term we regret that no refund will be issued.

Whilst we recognize that little ones are susceptible to colds & sickness, unfortunately we are unable to offer refunds for missed lessons.
We regret that we are unable to offer an alternative lesson when swimmers are unable to attend their allocated session. Catch up lessons/credits will not be issued when a swimmer misses their lesson.

What may seem like a simple request is an impractically huge administrative task when spread across hundreds of swimmers.

If we need to cancel a lesson for any reason, we will endeavor to inform you as soon as we can & shall make up the lesson at your convenience (usually we will add onto the last week of term)! In the event that we cannot offer a suitable slot we will offer a full refund of the missed lesson or use as credit against the future term.

We endeavour to offer consistent teaching however, realistically this is not always possible. Where we can we will inform you in advance so you can prepare your child for the change. We of course do understand if you choose not to attend a lesson with a substitute teacher although, we are not able to offer any refunds if this is the case.

Sickness & Broken Bones

Please do not bring your child swimming if they have any illness such as chicken pox, an ear infection, impetigo, diarrhoea, conjunctivitis or a bad cold. If your child is sick or has diarrhoea please ensure at least 48 hours before attending a lesson. If in doubt consult your maternal instinct or your GP. Please gain medical clearance before returning from any illness. Our teachers may refuse entry to the pool if they reasonably believe that your child is not well enough to participate in the session.

With broken bones and similar injuries being common place with little ones, We regret that unfortunately we are unable to offer refunds in this instance.

All babies & toddlers to the age of 3 years, regardless of whether they are toilet trained, MUST wear our double nappy system: A disposable nappy with a swim nappy on top. Swim nappies are available to pre-order in various colours & designs, 4 sizes at £12 each – (just send me an email with your little ones weight in pound or kilos 24 hours before the class). With respect, no child will be allowed to swim without their swim nappy. We will endeavour to have spares on poolside but please purchase in advance of term beginning. Whilst there are sanitation bins available in the changing rooms at Treloars we do ask that dirty nappies be taken home to be disposed of so as to not put additional pressure on the maintenance to our wonderful pools.

Can my baby swim before vaccinations?

NHS guidelines state that you can take your baby swimming at any time, regardless of whether or not they have had their injections. The health & safety testing required for the water in public pools makes the likelihood of transmitting infections very unlikely. The diseases against which your baby is inoculated, can not be transmitted in the chlorinated water of the public pool.

Learning to swim as a child or adult

Anyone can learn to swim at ANY age. We have all been given the ability to float & technique can be taught at any age. Swimming is hard to beat in terms of a full body workout. Because the water supports the body, it puts little strain on the muscles & is cooling & refreshing. Learning to swim brings very rewarding social benefits & is a skill that can be developed throughout life.

Changing your booking

Changing your booking is subject to availability, provided you do so more than 7 days from the start of the new term. You can also add additional days to your booking and will be charged at current price. Please contact our team if you wish to move your day as soon as possible so we can do our best to accommodate.
