Swim Lesson Policies
Classes must be paid in fuull at the time of registration. Classes in which no one has registered will be cancelled the day prior to start date.
Three students must register for a class to continue as scheduled (full session). If only two students register for a class, the class will meet 6 times instead of 8. If only one student registers for a class, we will provide 4 private lessons instead of 8 group lessons.
Make-up days are provided only if the YMCA cancels a class. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR CLASSES OR SESSIONS NOT ATTENDED. The YMCA has discretion for credits due to extenuating circumstances. Make-up classes may not always be done at the regularly scheduled class time or date.
In case of thunder or lightning, the pool will close. If these conditions occur, please call your YMCA. If at all possible, we will try to contact you prior to your lesson.
Depending on availability, registration for classes will end 48 hours before the session start date.
