Acceptance of Terms and Conditions:

By booking or attending a swimming lesson or class with Aqualearn Limited, you confirm that you accept and agree to abide by these Terms & Conditions.

Failure to comply may result in the suspension or termination of lessons. In such circumstances, refunds will not be provided.

Aqualearn Limited accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to personal property while on the premises, including while parking, changing, or moving to and from the pool.

Parents/guardians remain responsible for supervising their children at all times until they are taken into the water by a member of Aqualearn staff.

Any incident must be reported to Aqualearn immediately.

Parents/guardians acknowledge that there may be appropriate physical contact between teacher and swimmer in a professional capacity during lessons.

Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions shall limit or exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Subject to this, Aqualearn Limited shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, financial loss, or damage to personal property arising from participation in lessons.

Responsibility

Swimmers must bring their own goggles, swimming caps, and towels to each lesson.

Swimmers should not eat for at least one hour prior to swimming.

Parents/guardians should ensure children use the toilet before lessons, as instructors are unable to pause sessions to escort swimmers.

Long hair must be tied back. Jewellery (including earrings) must not be worn for safety reasons.

Make-up and body lotions must not be worn as they adversely affect water quality.

Appropriate swimwear must be worn at all times in the swimming pool and communal changing areas.

Swimmers should arrive at least five minutes before their lesson. Lessons start promptly and will not be extended for late arrivals.

A quiet and respectful environment must be maintained poolside. Disruptive or unsafe behaviour (including shouting, fighting, diving, running, jumping, or throwing items) may result in removal from lessons without refund.

Parents/guardians must not interrupt lessons unless it is a matter of health and safety.

Spectacles must not be worn in the water. Swimming goggles (including prescription goggles) may be worn at the wearer’s own risk.

Food and alcoholic drinks are strictly prohibited poolside.

Outdoor footwear and buggies are not permitted at poolside.

Parents/guardians must remain onsite while their child is participating in lessons.

All property is left at the owner’s risk.

 

Lesson Prices & Bookings

Class and course dates are published on our website.

Bookings are confirmed once payment has been received or a Direct Debit mandate has been successfully established and the first payment collected.

Existing swimmers are given priority to rebook before spaces are released. Failure to pay by the communicated deadline may result in the release of the space.

Payment is required at least 24 hours before attending the session, or Aqualearn has the right decline a swimmer from attending and give their space to someone else.

Aqualearn Limited reserves the right to decline a booking at its discretion.

 

Non-Payment

Aqualearn reserves the right to suspend lessons and release a swimmer’s place if any outstanding balance remains unpaid after the stated payment deadline.

Any arrears and applicable administration charges will remain due and payable.

 

Operational Changes

Aqualearn reserves the right to make reasonable changes to teachers, lesson times, class ratios, venues, or teaching arrangements where necessary for operational, safety, or business requirements.

Where possible, notice will be given in advance.

 

Cancelling Lessons

To cancel ongoing lessons, a minimum of 4 weeks’ written notice is required by contacting Aqualearn either on Whatsapp or by email.

Direct Debit payments will continue to be collected during the notice period.

Verbal notice given to teachers will not be accepted as formal notice.

 

Refunds

No refunds will be issued once payment has been collected, including where lessons are missed due to holidays, sickness, or other personal circumstances.

Lesson fees are non-transferable and cannot be credited to future months outside of the make-up policy.

This no-refund policy also applies in circumstances beyond the control of Aqualearn, including (but not limited to) government restrictions, adverse weather, technical failures, or health and safety incidents.

Where Aqualearn cancels a lesson, a make-up session (subject to availability) or account credit will be offered.

Cash refunds will not be provided.

 

Make-Up Lessons

Swimmers are entitled to up to 2 make-up sessions per term, subject to availability.

Make-up sessions are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.

Failure to attend a scheduled make-up session will result in forfeiture of that session.

If Aqualearn offers up to three alternative dates for a specific make-up session and the swimmer is unable to attend any of the offered dates, that individual make-up session will be forfeited.

All outstanding make-up sessions are forfeited if a swimmer leaves Aqualearn. If a swimmer re-joins, previous make-up sessions will not be reinstated.

Aqualearn reserves the right to restrict or decline the use of make-up sessions during a notice period.

 

Lesson Changes

If an instructor is unavailable, Aqualearn Limited may provide a replacement instructor without prior notice.

Lessons may be cancelled at short notice due to operational reasons, including pool-related health and safety incidents.

Clients will be notified via Whatsapp or email where possible.

Where Aqualearn cancels a lesson, a make-up session or credit will be offered.

Refunds will not be provided.

 

Class Allocation and Progression

Aqualearn reserves the right to move a swimmer to another class, level, teacher, or time slot where this is considered appropriate for the swimmer’s ability, progression, safety, or for operational reasons.

We will always aim to give as much notice as reasonably possible.

 

Trial Lessons

Aqualearn may offer trial lessons, subject to availability. These trial lessons are paid, however we allow independent payment for the trial lesson and if you want to continue with us, you pay for the remaining term.

Each swimmer is entitled to one trial session only.

To secure a trial session, payment is required in advance. This payment will be deducted from the terms fees if the swimmer proceeds with registration.

A trial lesson does not guarantee a permanent place.

If a place is offered following the trial, registration and payment must be completed promptly to secure the swimmer’s space.

Trial payments are non-refundable if the swimmer chooses not to proceed after the session.

Aqualearn reserves the right to withdraw or decline a trial booking at its discretion.

 

Medical Conditions & Illness

All relevant medical and behavioural conditions must be disclosed prior to attendance.

Aqualearn Limited reserves the right to refuse participation where deemed necessary for safety.

Swimmers must not attend lessons if unwell or suffering from infectious conditions.

In cases of sickness or diarrhoea, swimmers must be symptom-free for at least 48 hours before returning.
