payment/cancellation policy
Payment for all lessons or services are due on the first of each month prior to the beginning of the start date. IF the 1st of the month is a holiday the payment will be charged to the card on file on the business date prior to the holiday. A statement will be emailed to each client on the 20th of the Month prior to the start date so the client knows the amount being charged to the card on file. All clients are required to keep a valid working card on file for swim lesson fees to be charged to. The client may choose to pay in cash or check PRIOR to the charge date. The payment MUST be received by Wisconsin Swim Academy within 2 days of the charge date in order for Wisconsin Swim Academy to post the payment and change the payment type.
Any checks that have been returned for Non Sufficient Fund reasons or any other reason will be subject to a $35.00 late fee.
Cancellation of any lessons MUST be done 30 business days PRIOR to the swim lesson start date. Any cancellation after this date will still be responsible for the entire amount owed of that month. Any persons not paying this amount owed will be subject to collections as well as late fees. If the credit card on file is declined for any reason the student will be removed from the class unless the payment is resolved within 24 hours.

Make up lessons/pool rules
Students enrolled in swim lessons will be allowed one make-up lesson per month. The only exception to the one make-up policy is if Wisconsin Swim Academy LLC has to cancel lessons due to a weather emergency or a pool incident. Under these circumstances, space permitting, we will allow an extra make-up lesson. Due to our low instructor to student ratio, we cannot guarantee the availability of make-up classes. If you are unable to find a time that works for your schedule, we can offer make-up times at our other locations.
All make-up lessons must be done within 30 days of the lesson that was missed. It is solely the responsibility of the CLIENT to contact Wisconsin Swim Academy to schedule the make up lesson. We do not carry over missed classes. Cancellations of other types will be handled on a situational basis. Make-up lessons can NOT be rescheduled due to the limited space. If your student is paying for a semi-private lesson and there is not another student registered in the class, thus making this a private lesson at a semi-private rate, your student will not get a make up lesson due to the fact that they are getting an extra 15 minutes each class. Wisconsin Swim Academy reserves the right to schedule a make up lesson in this spot. Wisconsin Swim Academy reserves the right to make exceptions to this policy. If you do not let us know that your swimmer will be absent, they WILL NOT get a make up lesson. No refunds are given in regards to missed lessons. If a missed lesson can not be made up we will credit your account to be used at a future semester unless more then one lesson is missed during the month. The AmericInn Hotel does not allow Wisconsin Swim Academy guests to swim prior or after their scheduled swim lessons unless they have purchased a swim pass from the Hotel front desk and are swimming during the open swim times allocated by the hotel. Open swim times are subject to change at the management's discretion.
Swim Diaper Policy
Swim Diapers: Wisconsin Swim Academy requires all swimmers who are recently toilet trained and those who are not toilet trained to wear a well-fitting, swim diaper. Swim diapers must fit snugly in order to contain a bowel movement, so please do not purchase one for the child to "grow into". Fecal accidents are costly to Wisconsin Swim Academy LLC and an inconvenience to families since they may cause us to shut down the pool. We recommend a reusable diaper. The backs of disposable swim diapers are not tight enough to hold in solids, and the lining inside them can disintegrate which clogs the pool filters. Reusable swim diapers are available for purchase through Wisconsin Swim Academy and other retailers.
Bathroom Incidents: Please make sure that your children use the bathroom before each lesson. If they are feeling sick or have a stomach ache, we ask that you do not bring them to class. Bathroom accidents are very costly to Wisconsin Swim Academy LLC and are an inconvenience to families since they may cause us to shut down the pool. Thank you for helping to keep our pool clean.
