Policies:

Public Health:

People, especially children, who have had vomiting, diarrhoea &/or conjunctivitis in the previous 7 days should not enter the pool.

McKeon's Swim School is a smoke free zone, no smoking permitted on the property.

 

Missed Lessons:

If you are unable to attend your lesson, your lesson is forfeited. There is no refund for cancelled lessons.

If eligible you will receive a make-up token to book into an alternative class within the next 45 days. Makeups not redeemed within this timeframe will automatically expire.

Make up tokens will appear on your customer portal after the time of the missed class, not at the time of cancellation.

Make ups are only available whilst you have an active booking. Once you withdraw from lessons any outstanding make ups are forfeited. 
Each booking within the mainstream Swim School perpetual program is eligible for 2 makes per month. 
Cancellation of your class must be received more than 30min prior to the start of the class. 
Make ups rely on other clients cancelling from their lesson and are only available if there is a suitable vacancy within the program. This is not guaranteed, especially during our busiest times. 

Notification of cancellation of your class and booking a make-up class can only be done online through the Customer Portal.
