Star Swim Schools Clyde Conditions of Entry
Check-in Procedure:Swimmers are required to check in at Reception to register their attendance for each lesson.
Make-Up for Missed Lessons:
Star Swim Schools Clyde endeavors to provide one (1) Make-Up lesson in the form of a token per swimmer, per calendar month, provided that notification of the absence is received one (1) hour prior to the scheduled lesson time. Make-Up tokens for absenteeism must be utilized within ninety (90) days of the missed lesson and may be carried over during break periods. A Make-Up lesson token will be allocated within the Customer Portal subsequent to the confirmation of notification and the passage of the missed lesson. To partake in a Make-Up lesson, swimmers must maintain an active enrollment and have no outstanding fees against their account. These Make-Up lessons are non-transferrable, non-refundable, and expire ninety (90) days after issuance if not utilized. Any accrued Make-Up tokens will be forfeited upon cancellation of the student's booking(s). Make-Up lessons are contingent upon availability and cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, Make-Up lessons will not be provided for lessons missed during the Holiday program. In the event of lesson cancellation by Star Swim Schools Clyde due to unforeseen circumstances, a credit for the swimming lesson will be issued for application toward a future direct debit.
Suspension of Lessons:
Lessons may be suspended in advance for a minimum of two (2) weeks and a maximum of eight (8) lessons per year, subject to a charge of $5.00 per lesson. Suspended lesson charges will be incorporated into the monthly payment run corresponding to the lesson's scheduled date. Families may opt to utilize Make-Ups for short-term absences due to medical reasons, while suspension fees may be applied for extended periods of absence to maintain the designated lesson time.
Cancellations and Refunds:
Per clauses 3.2 and 3.3 of the Star Swim Schools Clyde Direct Debit Request Service Agreement, families may terminate their enrollment by providing one (1) month's notice in writing. Direct debits will be settled up until the conclusion of the calendar month, after which Star Swim Schools Clyde reserves the right to terminate enrollment. No refunds will be issued for canceled lessons, as spaces are reserved for the duration of enrollment. Refunds will solely be granted in the event of an error attributable to Star Swim Schools Clyde, such as overcharging an account. Credits, at the discretion of Star Swim Schools Clyde, will remain valid for twelve (12) months from the cancellation date and may only be utilized for our Learn to Swim programs at our facility.
