4.Do clients need to do a block booking and why?
Normally yes. With block booking, clients have consistency in the time of lessons and also the swim teacher.

No. We do offer private (1:1), semi-private(1:2) and small groups that have a maximum of 3 children per class.
6. For adults lessons, what are the options?
For adults we generally offer 1:1 lessons. Semi-private (1:2) swimming lessons could be offered to partners or friends who wish to share lessons with each other. We don’t offer groups lessons for adults.
7. Are the 1:2 (semi-private) lessons for children designed for children of the same family (siblings) or children from different families can also book semi-private lessons?
1:2 or semi-private lesson is a popular choice for siblings. Sometimes also friends also share lessons and book 1:2.
For example, if in one family, there are siblings who are a similar age and have similar swimming abilities, we can organise 1:2.
In general, the option of 1:2 lessons is ideal and popular for children of similar age and swimming abilities to share lessons.
But, 1:2 lessons are not just for children of one family.
If we can also find a child who is similar age to your child and also has swimming ability as your child, we can also offer booking 1:2 lessons.
8. What’s the cancellation policy for termly lessons? After booking if we change our mind can we cancel and get a refund?

Yes, if we have availability, we could offer a one-off booking so, our trials are not free. After doing a one-off session, if you decide to continue, you need to block book.
