Enrolment Terms & Conditions

MAKE-UP POLICY:

Make-up lessons are subject to availability and are not guaranteed. We allow two make-up lessons per term per child, as long as we are notified at least 2 hours prior to lesson time, via email: [email protected]. All make-up lessons must be arranged before the end of term and may not be carried over to the next term. We do not give credits/refunds for any missed lessons. We do not guarantee make up lessons will be available on the day/time you request. If you do not attend or cancel a booked makeup lesson you will not be entitled to another one. 

WET-WEATHER: 

Ithaca Pool is outdoors and heated to 29 degrees. Lessons are still on in the rain. However, lessons will be cancelled if there is lightning, as we have to close the pool as well. Storms often arrive and pass quickly so our instructors will be there to teach the lesson. If we cancel the lessons due to storm, we will endeavour to let families know immediately and will allow an additional make-up lesson – see make-up policy above.
