Make-Up Agreement
Make-up lessons are available at Chicago Swim School for those enrolled in the SWIM Shallow or SWIM Deep monthly package. There are NO make-ups available for those enrolled in the SWIM Starter package.
• Students are eligible for no more than one make-up per month for the SWIM Shallow package and two per month for the SWIM Deep package, if the absence is reported before
the child's class time.
• Availability of make-up lessons is not guaranteed.
• Make-up lessons may be scheduled up to 7 days ahead of the make-up time.
• With continuous enrollment, make-up lessons must be completed within 60 days of the date of the absence.
• Once a make up is scheduled, it can not be re-scheduled.
• Students need to be enrolled to complete a make up class.
A note about makeup lessons: Ideally, you will never need a makeup class since consistency is a key to swimming progress. Please honor the spirit of this privilege and only use it for illness or an occasional special event.
Withdrawal Agreement
• If you wish to take a break from lessons, a withdrawal form must be completed by the 20th of the month to avoid being charged the next month.
• No refunds if withdrawing after the 20th of the month for the following month.
• You can transfer to a different class at any time. You do not need to provide advanced notice.

I acknowledge that these risks may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of Company employees or others, including negligent emergency response or rescue operations of the Company. I understand that while the Company has implemented measures to reduce the risk of injury from the Activity and the spread of the Disease, the Company cannot guarantee that I will not be injured or become infected with the Disease due to my participation in the Activity.

I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Company or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Company and all other Releasees from liability under such claims.
Health Statement
I confirm that I am: (a) in good health, in proper physical condition, and do not have any medical or other conditions that would impair my ability to participate in the Activity; and (b) not experiencing symptoms of the Disease (such as [cough, shortness of breath, or fever), do not have a confirmed or suspected case of the Disease, and have not come in contact in the last fourteen (14) days with a person who has been confirmed or suspected of having the Disease. I will comply with all federal, state, and local laws, orders, directives, and guidelines related to the Activity and the Disease while participating in the Activity, including, without limitation, requirements related to hand sanitation, social distancing, and use of face coverings and safety equipment. I will also follow all instructions, recommendations, and cautions of the Company at all times during the Activity. If at any time I believe conditions to be unsafe, that I am no longer in proper physical condition to participate in the Activity, or I begin experiencing symptoms of the Disease, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activity.
Hold Harmless
I shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and all other Releasees against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorney fees, fees, and the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification under this Agreement, and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, incurred by/awarded against the Company or any other Releasees in a final judgment, arising out or resulting from any claim of a third party related to my participation in the Activity.
