Frequently asked questions

How many lessons am I guaranteed?

We guarantee a minimum 50 lessons per calendar year subject to lesson cancellations /pool closure. Each year we have a scheduled Christmas break for two weeks. Twelve equal, monthly payments are taken by direct debit - no discount is provided for the Christmas break.
Any other cancellations would result in a credit applied to your next month's direct debit.

Do I receive free badges if I’m on a direct debit payment plan?

The Swim England stage awards are included free of charge. There is a charge for other badges, including distance badges.

What do I need to wear?

We recommend that full costumes are worn and tight shorts (jammers) rather than the baggy holiday shorts. All long hair to be tied back or a swimming cap can be worn. Goggles are recommended but not essential. All other equipment will be provided.

Do I have the same teacher all year?

Our Teachers have set lessons on a weekly basis, however this is subject to change due to factors out of our control.

Can I freeze my direct debit?

Unfortunately this is not possible. If you wish to cancel, please complete a cancellation form and cancel your DD with the bank, and we require 30 days’ notice. Should you wish to return at a later date we can't guarantee a space.

Will my percentage change every week?

Unlikely. Teachers take a register and update the ipods on a weekly basis, following a scheme of work. However there may not always be an increase in percentage, it takes practice to perfect certain skills.

How long is a lesson?

All lessons for children up to stage 7 are 25 minutes (including registration). Stage 8 and above, Adult lessons and other Aquatic disciplines are 40 minutes.

How long will my child be in the stage for?

Children all progress at different rates. It is impossible to give an exact time frame, each child is unique.

If I can’t attend, can I change my lesson?

This is not possible as a one off, however if you wish to move on a permanent basis depending on spaces this is an option. Lessons are non-refundable.

What if my child wants to swim more than once per week?

We offer a swim school plus option for members who want 2 or more lessons per week. Please contact the Swim Development Team for further information.

What is the home portal?

Lleisure Swim School operates a ‘home portal’ system. It allows a parent to view the progress of their child. Once a stage is completed there is an option to move classes on the home portal.

How do I cancel my swim lesson direct debit?

All monthly payable memberships are subject to 30 days written notice of cancellation, please let us know by completing the membership cancellation form - https://www.lleisure.co.uk/cancelling-your-direct-debit/ . It is also your responsibility to cancel your direct debit with your bank.
