Terms and Conditions

Class Payment Policy

1. Class payments are via direct debit and charged to your nominated account on the 1st Day of each month. Fees for the month are calculated based on the number of classes you have booked for that month multiplied by the applicable per class lesson fee.
2. Payments for classes booked in any of our School Holiday Programs or Camps must be paid for in full at the time of booking.
3. We are an accredited Active Kids and Creative Kids provider and accept both vouchers. Creative Kids vouchers can only be used for our “Paddles Super Camp”. Please email a copy of your voucher to contact@nepeanswim.com.au or drop into reception.
4. Valid bank account or credit card details for your direct debit are required at the time of confirming your booking along with a minimum payment equal to the first two weeks of class fees.
5. To avoid the direct debit payment process, all classes for the following month must be paid in full by the last day of the previous month. Payments can be made by cash or EFTPOS at the front desk or by EFTPOS over the phone. This will place your account into credit and the direct debit run won’t take effect.
6. After confirming your booking, if you need to defer your start date you will be charged for the missed classes and make up tokens will be added to your account for the number classes missed. Make up tokens can be used to book a makeup class at a future date.
7. Your class bookings are perpetual meaning you retain your position in the program until we are notified to the contrary. If you decide to leave the program, it is your responsibility to permanently cancel your bookings before the end of the current month. Once fees are generated, you are booked in for the new month and must pay the fees owing. Requests for permanent cancellation can done via a request through the customer portal or app or via email to contact@nepeanswim.com.au.
8. There are no refunds for classes missed due to change of mind, sickness, your unavailability, or unplanned pool closures.
9. If at any time you are refused entry to a class due to unpaid fees, you will be given the opportunity to do a makeup class once your fees have been paid in full.

Cancelation Policy

1. Classes must be cancelled via our customer portal or app or over the phone or at the front desk with a minimum of 30 minutes notice in advance of your scheduled class start time to be eligible for a makeup token. If you are eligible for a makeup token, it will be credited to your child’s account once the scheduled lesson has been completed. (Excludes the Achievers Program).
2. Makeup tokens are valid for 90 days and can be used to book a makeup class at a time and day of your choosing. Makeups can be booked at either Nepean Aquatic Centre or Eva Bory’s Swimming School regardless of which pool your attend for your regular class. Make up classes can only be booked while you have an active booking in our program and have no outstanding fees.
3. If a class cannot be attended due to an unplanned pool closure as a result of (but not limited to) emergencies, power outages, inclement weather, plant and equipment breakdowns, or government directives under the public health act, a makeup token will be credited to your account for each pre-paid class missed during the closure. Achievers Program customers are entitled to a credit under these circumstances.
4. Makeup tokens credited to your account due to an event outlined in paragraph 3 will be valid for six months from the day lessons resume after the closure. An active booking in our program is not required to book a makeup lesson in this instance.
5. Makeups are booked in classes (other than your regular class) where space is available. We offer no guarantees that a makeup will be available in a class on a day, time or with an instructor of your choosing.
6. Please note if you have booked a makeup in a class which subsequently receives a permanent booking, we reserve the right to reschedule your makeup booking.
