Required Swim Wear
Swim Diapers - are required for any student who is not yet toilet trained. The Department of Public Health requires children to wear a non-disposable (re-usable, tight-fitting) swim diaper over a disposable swim diaper for the health and safety of each child in the water. It is recommended that you check with your Catch The Wave location prior to your first class to ensure the appropriate size is in stock and available for purchase.
Swim Caps - It is required that swim caps be worn by every swimmer with the exception of Parent/Child (baby) students. These are color coordinated by level with names and start dates written on each cap to allow our team get to know your child better and to help track their progress. They are purchased at the front desk and as your child moves up to the next level you will need to purchase the next color cap.
Class Consolidation, Pool Closings & Instructor Substitution
Due to our small class sizes, occasionally some of our classes will need to be moved or combined with others depending on our enrollment level. In the event you are unable to move, your class time will still be honored until the end of the month but your child may be placed in a higher or lower level class during that time. While we try to keep class consolidation to an absolute minimum, sometimes due to absences, students leveling up and other circumstances, it can happen.
In the event we must cancel lessons or shut down the pool due to bad weather, pool accidents, pump malfunctions, etc., you will be issued a free makeup on our behalf. We do not issue refunds for lessons missed due to these circumstances.
Holiday Closings for 2020: October 31st, November 25th, November 26th, December 24th, December 25th, December 31st, January 1st (2021). If enrolled on these days, your child/children will automatically be marked absent and a free makeup will be given.
Sometimes instructors are sick, go on vacation or have personal issues they need to attend to. Due to these unforeseen circumstances, we cannot guarantee your instructor of choice. However, we will do our very best to accommodate your child the best we can.
Makeup Policies
We have a Lesson Guarantee policy. You never lose your lessons and we will reschedule all reported absences for a small $3 fee per student. There is no time limit for when makeups need to be scheduled as they never expire. IMPORTANT NOTE: We assume you are attending classes unless you notify us of an absence either through text or email. In order to qualify for a makeup lesson it must be reported BEFORE the lesson starts. We do not charge makeup fees during the months of November and December.
For private lessons, a $20 rescheduling fee is charged for missed lessons due to the unique and personalized scheduling of instructors. If a private lesson needs to be rescheduled, a weeks notice must be given and we will move the class for you at no charge.
Rescheduling fees are NOT charged for the following:
1. If you notify us more than a week in advance.
2. If your child has medical issues. Proof of a doctor visit must be provided
3. If you are a Gold Family.
Cancelation Policy
We require two things in order for members to stop lessons:
1. A MINIMUM of 30 days' notice.
This allows us enough time to make sure that classes are properly filled and staffed which is crucial to maintaining our Student:Instructor ratios.
2. Final lessons must occur during the last week of the month.
This is in place to make the creation, consolidation, and transition of classes as smooth as possible.
If you are unable to meet the two requirements above, we offer the following options:
1. We can hold next month's tuition as a credit on your account that will be available for you to utilize upon your return.
2. You can utilize next month's lessons as "drop-in" classes. These classes do not have a set time, are scheduled at your convenience and never expire.
3. You can opt to pay a $36 early cancelation fee per child (equivalent to two classes) and we will waive the 30 day notice. IMPORTANT NOTE: This option is only available if next month's tuition has not already been billed. No refunds will be given.
30-DAY GRACE PERIOD (dates are for any given month - automatically applied to option 3):
1st - 3rd: No Cancellation fee
4th - 5th: 60% of fee
6th - 7th: 80% of fee
8th+: 100% of fee
Statements & Billing
Tuition at Catch the Wave Swim Club is billed monthly and is done in advance on the 21st of each month. Account balances for extra charges (outside of tuition) will get billed to the card on file every Friday.
We charge an annual facility fee of $36. This rate is billed yearly in March and then prorated throughout the year depending on the month you enroll or re-enroll. This fee is charged per family (not per child) and is used for the purpose of facility maintenance.
Credit card information can be updated at anytime via the Parent Portal. A $10 fee will be charged if your tuition payment is late or if the card on file gets declined. The fee will be removed if you update your payment information within two days. If we are unable to get a hold of you or receive a payment by the 1st of the next month, your child will be dis-enrolled from the program, automatically charged an early cancellation fee, and your account will be moved to "delinquent" status to be sent to a third party collection agency.
Standard lessons: $18/lesson. Gold Packages: $850. Drop-in classes: $23/lesson. Private classes: $72/lesson. All lessons/packages are paid in advance and non-refundable.
