Attendance & Cancellation Policy

MISSED CLASS POLICY

ABSENCES & MAKE-UPS

We understand unplanned occurrences happen- especially with little ones. For your convenience, we allow cancellation of classes and make-ups. 

–Students swimming once per week receive ONE complimentary make-up per month that will not expire. Make-up lessons allotted per month is based on the frequency of enrollment.

-To cancel a class you must submit a “future absence” through the parent portal at least one hour before the start of the scheduled class. Phone calls to report a future absence are not permitted.  

-Only actively-enrolled students can take advantage of make-up lessons and cannot be used in place of their regularly scheduled class. 

-We do not honor absences or complimentary make-ups for single-lessons.

-Make-up lessons can only be booked after the scheduled absence has occurred

RELIGIOUS/HOLIDAY CLASS ABSENCES & MAKE-UPS 

The SwimJim family is proud to have clients of many faiths that observe many religious holidays. In observance of these special occasions we will offer a complimentary make-up. 

Please see above “Absences and Make-ups” section for our makeup policy.

EXTENDED MEDICAL CLASS CANCELLATION & MAKE-UP POLICY

 In those unfortunate occurrences where more than one day is needed for a medical cancellation we allow extended absences. 

-Only tuition credits are offered, no refunds for future classes. 

-A letter from a doctor or hospital explaining the student is not able to swim for a period of time is required. However, a specific diagnosis or any medical information is not necessary out of respect for your privacy. 

-In case of prolonged absences we require you to drop your sessions on the parent portal. When your child is ready to return it will be our pleasure to re-enroll them. 

-For the convenience of all of our clients and those waiting for a spot, we do not hold class spaces when your child is not registered.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION on CANCELLATIONS, VACATIONS & ILLNESSES

Your child has a reserved time for his or her class. Please understand the instructors are there to teach your children even if your child does not show up. While SwimJim will do everything possible to find the perfect fit for you, it is your responsibility to schedule your lesson in a time that fits your child’s schedule. We would be delighted to change classes for you at the beginning of the next session if needed. If you need to withdraw your child for an extended period of time due to illness or travel, please call the office for guidelines. If you choose not to follow these guidelines, your child will be removed from the class roster and you will need to reschedule subject to availability when you return.
