TERMS & CONDITIONS

At enrolment the student (or their parent/caregiver) is required to notify Swimsation of any medical conditions or disabilities the student has so we can provide the correct tuition, assistance and/or support to each student.
Swimsation facilities are smoke and alcohol free establishments, and as such no smoking or alcohol consumption is permitted on or around the premises.
These terms and conditions are subject to change without prior written notice at any time, at Swimsation’s sole discretion.

Covid POLICIES

To help ensure Swimsation sites are a safe place we require all staff, contractors, customers and visitors who are unwell to stay home. Make-up lessons are available for missed lessons in line with our missed lesson policy below.
To help ensure Swimsation sites are a safe place we require all staff, contractors, customers and visitors over the age of 12 to:
a) Be fully vaccinated to visit Swimsation sites. Vaccination passports will be required for scanning at the time of entry.
b) To scan the covid tracer app on arrival or provide contact details for manual log for covid tracing purposes
c) To wear face coverings when Auckland and/or Dunedin are at the Red & Orange light in the Covid Traffic System.
d) Maintain 1 metre safe distance from other staff, contractors, customers and visitors while onsite. Please note in lessons where instructors need to provide assistance to their swimmers they do not need to maintain the 1 metre distance, but must be wearing a visor.
In the event Swimsation sites are closed due to a covid exposure event or a covid lockdown all lessons will be cancelled. A credit for the cancelled lessons will be applied to Swimsation customers Swimsation accounts for them to use for future lessons or in the swim school shop.
When Auckland are at the Red & Orange light in the Covid Traffic System we ask that where possible families:
a) Only have 1 parent accompany swimmers to lessons
b) Change swimmers at home

There are four terms each year, and the length of each term varies between 9 to 11 weeks (in line with the public school terms). The price per term is calculated based on the Price-Per-Lesson rate and the number of weeks in that specific term (refer to prices on website for more details)
All invoices will be sent via email and need to be paid prior to lessons commencing using internet banking (details are provided in the invoice). Unless a payment plan has been approved by the admin team.

Swimsation do not give credits for missed lessons, however a makeup lesson can be booked in instances where Swimsation is notified in advance of a swimmers absence in group classes.
Swimsation cannot guarantee the availability of makeup lessons. They will only be provided if there are spaces available in the appropriate class.
Swimsation reserves the right to cancel programmed makeup sessions in the event a lesson time is required for a new customer.
Makeup lessons must be taken within the term of the date of absence, and cannot be transferred onto another term.
Makeup lessons will not necessarily be with the original instructor.
Makeup lessons cannot be rescheduled once booked and if missed cannot be rebooked.

Swimsation cannot guarantee everyone the lesson times they request, but Swimsation will make all reasonable endeavours to accommodate all members to the best of their ability.
Swimsation reserves the right to change lesson times and program content, as required, to meet the requirements of booking demands.
All lessons will run to the specified timings and will not run over. It is the student’s reponsbility to be there on time and students are to be changed and ready to go at the lesson’s start time.
