The balance of the registration fee is due on the first day of lessons.  Failure to send your payments to Swim Time will result in the loss of your spot as well as your deposit.  

 

Confirmation of registration will be made by phone witihn 2-4 days after registration.

 

HST will be charged on all our services.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

 

There are no refunds.

 

Cancellation prior to the start of the session will result in the loss of your deposit.  However, once a session begins a credit will only be given for medical reasons, which must be supported by written cancellation and a doctor's note.  A $50 administration fee, plus the cost of classes used up to the date of written notification received, will be deducted from the credit issued.

 

 

RATIOS

 

3:1 (5 years and up or in Swim Kids 3 or higher)

DAY CHANGES

 

Should you require a day or time change due to a scheduling conflict, it takes time on our part to accommodate your request, therefore, a $15 change fee per child applies.

 

 

VIEWING AREA

 

Parents are welcome to sit and watch their child's class in our viewing gallery or on the pool deck.  Please note that food, drink and shoes are not permitted on the pool deck, as these are health and safety regulations.  No changing of diapers or clothes is permitted in the viewing gallery or on the pool deck.

 

 

MAKEUP CLASSES

 

Each participant is allotted one makeup class per session (maximum).  Dates will be set one week after the start of each session.  The makeup class can be booked after the regular scheduled class has officially been missed.  There are enough time slots for each registered participant to receive one makeup. There are no makeup carryovers between sessions.  Swim Time does not guarantee specific instructors for makeup classes.  Absenteeism for any makeup will result in a lost class (there are no makeups for a makeup).  In the event of lesson cancellation by Swim Time due to unforeseen pool closures/break downs or inclement weather, we will reschedule your lesson.  

 

 

SWIM ATTIRE

 

Please have your child come to class prepared with a towel and bathing suit.  Long hair should be pulled back.  Goggles are optional, basedon personal preference.  All children under the age of 4 or not toilet trained must wear an approved elasticized legged swim diaper, such as "Swim Nappies" or "Monkey Doodlez".  NO EXCEPTIONS!  They are available at the front desk for $19.99 plus HST

 

 

CHANGE ROOMS

 

Please note that the privacy cubicles are for changing purposes only.  We have provided cubbies, hooks and shelves for the storage of clothing and other belongings.  All families with mixed genders must use the Family change room.  Please do not leave any valuables in the change rooms.  Swim Time accepts no responsibility for lost or stolen items.  No food or drinks are permitted in the changerooms.
