Instructor substitutions, modifications and changes can occur at the sole discretion of SwimQwik. If classes are not booked to capacity, we reserve the right to combine classes to fill the class. We reserve the right to cancel, change your lesson day, time, or level at any time at our sole discretion.

Trial classes
In some cases, trial classes may be offered by a SwimQwik Swim School. In order to book a trial class, a registration form must be submitted and all policies, procedures, waivers and other standard terms and conditions must be agreed to by the participant or guardian of the participant before he or she can participate in the trial class.

Timeliness
Please arrive early enough so that your student has time to stop by the bathroom, get changed and get equipment ready before class begins. To avoid class disruptions, if the student is more than 10 minutes late, he or she will not be allowed to join class that day.

Parent/Guardian Attendance
Participants’ parent/guardian must remain at the facility during the entire duration of each lesson.

Moving To The Next Class Level
Students are promoted to the next class level upon demonstration of skills required at each level. Every student will learn skills at different rates. Therefore, students will be tested for the next class level when their instructors believe they are ready.

Changing Areas, Restrooms and Locker Rooms
Children under the age of 4 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian in a same sex changing room, restroom or locker room. Children 4 years and older can use the same sex changing room, restroom or locker room unaccompanied or the family changing rooms.

Swimsuits
Anyone entering the pool is required to wear appropriate swim apparel. Street clothing is not permitted. While it is not required, we highly recommend that little girls wear one-piece swimsuits.

Swim Diapers
All students who are not fully potty-trained and all students under the age of three are required to wear a reusable (non- disposable) swim diaper. Disposable swim diapers (such as Lil’ Swimmers) can and should be worn under the non-disposable swim diaper. Reusable diapers are tighter, which helps to avoid accidents in our pools. A swimsuit or a pair of shorts should be worn over the diaper. Even a small accident in the pool can close the pool down for as long as 24 hours. If a pool must be closed to your child's accident, you will be assessed fees for revenue lost due to the closure. If your student is under the age of three or not potty-trained they will be required to wear one (1) disposable swim diaper and two (2) reusable diapers. If in doubt, PLEASE do not take the chance.

Swim caps
Any student who has hair longer than chin length is required to wear a swim cap. Swim caps are available for purchase at SwimQwik.

Towels
You must bring your own towel. Towels are not provided.

Goggles
Unless otherwise directed by their instructor, all students should have a pair of goggles at every class. We DO NOT offer loaner goggles. Goggles are available for purchase at SwimQwik.

Watching Lessons
Participants’ parent/guardian must remain at the facility during the entire direction of each lesson. Spectators may watch from the defined viewing area during their Participant’s class. Spectators are not allowed in the pool area during classes except when requested by the instructor. If you have questions or requests for the instructor, you may ask them during the designated times between classes or at the front desk for the instructor.
