Important Swimming School Regulations
Registrations will only be accepted upon payment on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Late registrations will only be accepted subject to availability of vacant places in the various swimming groups and no partial payment will be refunded for children who are absent or decide not to continue the term.
Based on previous years’ experiences, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHILDREN, parents/guardians will not be allowed to switch lessons from one group to another, unless you are instructed to do so by the coach in agreement with the parents/guardians, as this disrupts our swimmers per coach ratio.
Swimmers are kindly asked to come to the lessons wearing a swimming cap PREFERABLY with their first name written clearly with a permanent marker. Swimming goggles are also recommended for Groups C and above.
Re. Young Swimmers – Our coaching staff will only take responsibility for the swimmers’ health and safety during the time of the lesson. Coaches and pool staff will not be held responsible for those young swimmers, who are left unattended by the pool before and/or after the lessons.
PARENTS/GUARDIANS are STRICTLY PROHIBITED from interfering during the swimming lessons by passing comments to their children or coaches. Parents are kindly asked to seek advice or clarifications, regarding any shortcomings after the lesson has ended.
