Dear Parents,
In response to the Swim England’s recent statement and Government guidelines, we fall under the category of “Social gatherings”. I therefore regret to inform you that all lessons will be cancelled from today Wednesday 18th March 2020 until further notice and Government instructions.
We appreciate that some schools are remaining open at the moment, but due to the nature of the service we provide, with both parents and children onsite during swimming lessons, this increases the risk of infection being spread.
FAQ
When will swimming lessons resume?
We will reopen lessons as soon as we can, following the stringent advice as set out by the Government. Please check my Website and all my Social Media for updates. Sign up for my Newsletters and check your spam folder.
If you pay by invoice?
You will receive a credit note on your next invoice when lessons resume.
If you set up your own Standing Order or DD?
Please cancel this directly with your Bank
What about my direct debit payments?
You are 1/2 lesson/s in credit on the Aug 2019 – Jul 2020 payment plan for payments received to date (see plan below).I will be cancelling the subscription on Go-Cardless so no further payments are taken (you may see an email from Go-Cardless when that happens).
I will keep the mandate live unless you say you are leaving permanently.

Refund Options
- Credit for 1 lesson to be carried forward for when swimming resumes
- Cash refund for 1 lesson for those leaving permanently and not returning
- Combination of a credit for a swimmer when lessons resume and a cash refund for sibling leaving this term
You only need respond with your bank details if you wish for a cash refund, otherwise I will assume you wish to carry forward a credit.
I have lost my job and need to leave permanently
I am so sorry to hear this, please let me know and I will cancel your mandate and please let me know your bank details and I will transfer the refund.
I have already let you know I’m leaving and I will need a refund for the cancelled lesson on 22 March
Please contact me with your bank details and I will transfer the refund
You already have my bank details in my direct debit
Go-Cardless holds your bank details securely – I do not have access to them
How will I know when lessons will resume?
We will be in contact with you via Social Media as soon as we have any information regarding this so please do not contact me unless you have to.
Many thanks for all your support and my best wishes to you all.
Kind regards
