Payment of fees                                             

Lesson fees must be paid in full before the first lesson of the term. If payment is not made before this date, then you or your child will be withdrawn.

Lessons are non-refundable unless:

• Dash Swim School cancels a lesson
• you or your child is covered by a medical certificate.
• you withdraw your child, in which case you will be refunded classes remaining in the term less a 10% administration fee.

No credits will be given for missed lessons.

Rebooking your lessons

All current customers will be required to pay 100% of the fee at the time of booking.

You must sign and return your swimming confirmation by your first lesson.
