If your swimmer is unwell or can not attend lessons for any reason there is no need to contact us if not attending for a week or two, all swimmer places are held and we do expect illness and the occasional absence.

If your swimmer is going to miss lessons for more than two weeks for an operation or other reason, please then contact us by sending us an email to [email protected] and we can pass any messages on to their swimming teacher.

We do not offer credits or refunds for missed swims, please see T&Cs (unless we cancel lessons our end, we may then add replacements swims during school holidays or credits on account).
