We require a valid credit card to be kept on file as security for payment of your swimmer's lessons.  Your credit card on file will be charged on or around the 1st and the 15th day of each month for lessons delivered in the preceding 15-day period.  For example, lessons from July 1-July 14, would be billed on or around July 15.


Any invoices unpaid by the last day of each calendar month are subject to a finance charge/late fee of 1/2% (one-half of one percent) of the invoice balance and all swim lessons will be suspended.

If an instructor is scheduled to be at your home and they arrive to a pool that is not in teaching condition, no makeup/credit will be given. It is your responsibility to keep your pool clean and in proper running order. Should your pool not be clean (i.e. algae infestation) or running properly, the instructor reserves the right to cancel the lesson at your expense.

No makeup lessons will be issued for no show lessons.

It is at the discretion of the lifeguards and pool management to close the pool due to thunder, lightning, or any other weather related issue. 


It is at the lifeguard, pool management and/or instructor’s discretion as to whether or not to cancel or resume the scheduled class. If the class is cancelled prior to the scheduled time, a makeup lesson will be issued. 


If a class has been in session and either lightning is seen or thunder heard, the instructor will schedule a time to make up the remaining time of the portion missed.
