Swim Lesson Refund Policy:
Swim lessons are non-refundable. In the event of a cancellation by Sumers Recreation Center, participants will be offered either a prorated refund for canceled lessons or a chance to attend a make-up session, subject to availability. Suppose a participant has registered for a level that is incorrect for them. In that case, we will make every effort to match them with a different level private-lesson instructor or reschedule them for a suitable Small Group Lesson at a different time. If capacity does not allow, participants may be refunded the full amount minus a 25% processing and administration fee.
