​

Replacement Class Policy:

​

We understand that life with children means sometimes things don’t go to plan! Through holidays, family days and sickness, we know that–from time to time–classes may be missed. At Happy Mama, we want you to have all of the classes you book in a term, and because of this, we are flexible in our approach to replacing missed sessions.

​

Due to the volume of families that swim with us every week, administering replacement sessions is a huge task. To help the process run as smoothly as possible, and to ensure we have the maximum amount of spaces available, we have a few simple guidelines:

​

• To qualify for a replacement session you must cancel your normal class in advance. Please try and do this as early as possible, and no later than one hour before the start of the class.

• Missed classes can be ‘made-up’ by attending another age-appropriate class within the same term.

• There are no restrictions on the number of classes that can be ‘made-up’ in a term.

• In the event that you forget to cancel your class in advance, replacement sessions will be offered at our discretion and subject to availability.

• Replacement classes can be taken in advance of the normal class being missed, providing you have cancelled the session you expect to miss.

• Replacement sessions are a goodwill gesture and not a statutory right.

• Sessions cannot be guaranteed and will depend on space being available in an age-appropriate class.

• Replacement sessions can be booked up to 7 days in advance.

• If you cancel your regular class, you can only re-book the class if space is available.

• When booking replacement sessions, please check to ensure the class is age-appropriate.

• ​

Replacement classes are not automatically carried over to the following term and do not accumulate. In certain circumstances–such as prolonged sickness during the course–we are happy to consider requests to transfer missed classes for use in the next term only. This service is discretionary and not a statutory right and we do not carry classes over to the next term if you are no longer swimming with us.
