Refund and Cancellation Policy
Participant may withdraw from private swim lessons at any time; however, all services are non-refundable.
Participant agrees to expiration date of sessions as indicated in their Campus Recreation Portal account. Failure to use all sessions before expiration will result in the forfeiture of the remaining sessions.
Cancellations/Rescheduling: Participants must request any cancellation/rescheduling at least six (6) hours before a scheduled appointment. Failure to do so will result in the loss of your session and participant will be charged. Participant should contact the swim instructor directly to cancel/reschedule a session. Lessons that are canceled due to weather will be rescheduled, but must be used before the expiration date.
Late policy: Swim instructors are obligated to wait only 10 minutes for no-show participants. After 10 minutes, participant will be charged as a cancellation. Sessions that start late will end on time. If participant will be late, please have the courtesy to contact the instructor. Buddy sessions with only one participant arriving will still charge both participants and the lesson will continue.
