2. Fees
All fees are invoiced monthly and are payable at the commencement of each calendar month. Invoices are issued on the 25th day of each month for the following month and are payable upon receipt.

3. Lesson Allocation

4. Lesson Attendance, Booking & Cancellations
Students are expected to attend all scheduled lessons. Coaches are remunerated regardless of attendance, and lessons missed without prior notice are considered delivered and are neither refundable nor transferable.
Holiday and absence policy: Lessons are scheduled monthly, with each swimmer's time slot reserved exclusively for them. Full payment is required to retain your child's allocated time slot during holidays, travel, or planned absences. No refunds, credits, or carry-overs will be provided for such absences.
Cancellations or requests to reschedule must be submitted at least 24 hours before the scheduled lesson. Make-up lessons may only be arranged for illness and must be completed within the same calendar month. A doctor's note is required.
Lessons cancelled due to hazardous weather (e.g. lightning), once commenced, are non-refundable.
Lessons continue through winter unless written notice is submitted to andrea@onewithwater.co.za prior to 1 April; failure to do so will result in the automatic application of a one-month fee.
No refunds or make-up lessons are permitted for absences without prior notice. lessons that are cancelled with authorised notice, and a catchup credit issued, it must be used within 30 days of the credit date.
5. Weather Policy
The School's pool is indoor and heated; lessons will proceed under normal weather conditions. In the event of lightning or other hazardous conditions, the attending coach has sole discretion to cancel lessons. Make-up lessons will not be provided for weather-related cancellations. In the unlikely event of two consecutive lessons being cancelled due to weather, a catch-up will be offered.
6. Operating Hours
The School operates year-round, excluding public holidays, Easter weekend, and the annual December/January holiday period. Lessons scheduled on excluded dates will either be rescheduled or not charged at the School's discretion.
7. Administrative Fees
An annual administrative fee of R300 per student is payable at registration and each subsequent September. This fee contributes to administrative operations, pool maintenance, and equipment upkeep.

Parents or guardians must disclose in writing any medical condition, illness, allergy, or health issue that may affect the student's participation in lessons.
