Refunds or credits will not be authorized in the event this happens. If you know in advance that the participant will be unable to attend the first class session, you must call AND SPEAK TO the supervisor on duty so it can be noted on the roster and then the participant will not be dropped.

  • Make-up classes are generally not offered.  However, staff will attempt to accommodate make-up class requests.  Unfortunately, there is no guarantee and we appreciate your understanding and kindness.  

  • REFUNDS are not offered for aquatics classes.  Credits for aquatics programs are not typically offered however, under special circumstances, any request would require a minimum of 1 week advance notice to the start of the class.   Credits are not authorized for slower than expected progression, registering for the wrong level or time, registering at the non-resident rate, because of cold, rainy, inclement weather, scheduling conflicts or if you are dropped for missing the first day without properly notifying staff.  Please note, in group lessons, children only have a limited amount of individualized attention and will progress through the classes at their own pace.  Thank you for your understanding. â€‹
