Handling by Judy Sporle School of Swimming staff 

Judy Sporle School of Swimming teachers will be in the water for appropriate levels. By signing up for our lessons, you are agreeing to our staff using necessary handling of your child. All staff are DBS checked and follow our Child Protection policy.  

Our Guarantee 

Our teachers will always be qualified and DBS checked. The teacher/s may be subject to change without notice, but we will try to keep this to a minimum. 

When turning 3 years old, there is no guarantee that a beginner space is available, even after completing our adult and child lessons.

Parental Responsibilities 

Parents are responsible for their children whilst on the school site. Children are not Judy Sporle Swimming Enterprises Ltd’s responsibility until the lessons starts. 

During lessons, parents must not interrupt or communicate with the teacher, distract the pupils or approach the pool, unless it is a matter  of health and safety, as you may endanger the safety of the pupils and other pool users. Children under the age of 16 years must have a  responsible adult on site during the lesson. 

Sickness and Holidays

If the participant is unwell, they are requested not to swim. 

Any medical reason that means the participant is unable to swim for a duration of time would need to be put in writing by email ASAP. 

Options are:

1. To withdraw from schedule, without priority waiting list, remaining lessons will be credited onto your account.
2. To stay within schedule, no credit is given.

Refunds, credits or make-up lessons can not be given for sickness or holidays. 

Complaints 

The complaint should initially be reported to the poolside supervisor or via email. Failing a satisfactory resolution, the complaint will be dealt through the Judy Sporle School of Swimming office. 

If necessary, the complaint will be passed to the Senior Management Team. 

Pool Closures 

Pool closures happen on rare occasions, making it necessary to cancel lessons. Pool closures due to maintenance, mechanical, water clarity or contamination, we will ONLY give a credit and not 

a refund.  

Any cancellations due to power failure, adverse weather conditions, disasters, terrorism, war, and pandemics will not be refundable or  credited, as these are out of our control.  

If any credit is awarded at the discretion of the Judy Sporle Director will be non-refundable. These will need to be redeemed within the subsequent term provided by the swim school.
