We expect students and parents to fully embrace the concept of mutual respect and preparation for swimming, and thus all students, parents and coaches (collectively and separately, a "Participant") agree to the following standards.
Your electronic acknowledgment of this document indicates your understanding and acceptance of these terms.

Any Participant engaging in this behavior will be expelled from the swim lesson program with no refund or compensation of any sort.

4. Should a swim student develop physical reactions to swimming that include but are not limited to vomiting, urination and bowel movements in the pool, Little Sharks Swim Academy LLC reserves the right to postpone the student's training until that student is evaluated and cleared by a competent medical authority to continue swimming.
5. All parties will abide by required measures prescribed by SUU and/or Little Sharks Swim Academy LLC that mitigate the spread of any virus, disease or pathogen.
Class Placement Agreement
I acknowledge that my student/swimmer may be moved to a class that is different from the one that the responsible party registered him/her for if it is determined that their ability does not match those abilities required for said class. Every effort will be made to make reasonable accommodation to re-schedule, but that may not be possible.
I acknowledge that I have provided Little Sharks Swim Academy with a realistic profile of my swimmer's capability in order to determine a class that is best for him or her.
Further, I understand that my student swimmer will not be moved up or promoted to the next level until they have mastered the fundamental skills for their present class regardless of factors such as time spent in the class or desire to swim.
Cancellation Policy
• All insurance or annual fees are NOT REFUNDABLE regardless of how long a swimmer participates in the program.
• Cancellation of classes for a student requires a two week notice when possible.
• I understand that if I leave the program that my student's spot may be given to another student.
• If a student quits part way through the month or part way through a Summer Shark Camp a partial or full refund WILL NOT BE GIVEN regardless of the reason for withdrawal.
• Little Sharks is unable to accommodate make up classes and no refunds will be given for students who miss class due to personal reasons such as illness etc...
• Cancellation of classes due to pool closures may result in a credit to the responsible party's account. Refunds are not guaranteed in the case of closures.
